Originally a HackCraft project, an optimised set of shaders that dosen't compromise on customisability, kinda inspired by Essential shaders by @ahnafiscool!

An optimized set of shaders for Minecraft, runs great and looks great!
The idea for this shader was inspired by @ahnafiscool 's essentials shader!
I definitely had my hurdles throught this project, they are all documented in the devlogs! (its kinda embarrasing tho).
FEATURES:
________________________________________________________________________
- Nice, smooth shadows, colored shaows, and PCF blur!
- Godrays, that don't fry your GPU
- Optimized so much, I can set shadow map resolution to 2048 and still have 120+ FPS! (I use GTX 1060 btw)
- Block outlines!
- FXAA antialiasing!

CREDITS:
________________________________________________________________________
- @ahnafiscool for the very initial idea for the shader!
- @IGoByLotsOfNames on youtube for the godrays method!
- SuperDuperVanilla for code referncing!
- Lumen and Iris guides for the initial development stages!

- Fixed weird shadows on water
I’m officially done with this project! ; - ]
For the ones out there, thanks for following my development! ☆: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:☆

Didn’t do a lot today actually, coz of yesterday’s disaster. (iykyk) T_T
Just added some optimizations to my shader (mainly having to do with ‘Don’t compute this if its far away’), which is rather effective! As seen in the image (sry for low quality : ( ), i am able to get 120+ FPS on shadowMapResolution set to 2048, which is regarded as an FPS killer. I am impressed! :0
Thanks for reading, byeeeeeeeeeeee!
P.S. : btw, should i ship?

This was a disaster…
I tried optimizing my shader by rendering the shadowmap every other frame, and now i got another flickery mess. I tried removing it and now I have errors on errors, on errors:
shadow_sodium_terrain_solid: shadow_sodium_terrain_solid: 0(42) : error C5052: gl_MultiTexCoord0 is not accessible in this profile

I had to revert everything, and now I have met a new bug…

Nice! Today I did a lot of stuff, so I’ll just paste the changelog from GitHub’s latest release, v1.4:
CHANGELOG
- Added customization for cloud transparency
- Excluded clouds from the block outlines, due to visual artifacting
- Added customization for shadow distance
- Tweaked FXAA edge detection values a bit :)
And thats it for the day! I have hit a wall as for what I want to add so if you have any suggestions, please consider writing something in the comments!

I tried adding FXAA today, my implemenatation dosen,t seem to work….., infact it seems to have destroyed my whole shader? Ehh I’ll do it tomorrow, I have to study for exams also (sry for short devlog)
byeeeeeee….
(also for clarification i’m working on FXAA in a seperate shader then I will merge, I have a another QOL shader idea which can use my FXAA lib)
now byeeee….

The original time for making the shader + 20 minutes on rewriting common.glsl and outline.glsl, they were originally just copypasted from SupderDuperVanilla shader, so to avoid legal schmeckadoo, I rewrote them, wasn,t hard.
