It's been a little bit. i got a couple things to show off...

ADDITIONS

• A completely new nether shader. plumes of smoke lit up by the lakes of lava fill the air. the lighting is dynamic for the scene you stand in. i tried to find a sweetspot of thick fog but not too obtrusive for gameplay... i hope i found it.
• Redid underwater lighting completely. it has better visuals, on top of being easier to see in for gameplay. you can now actually see in underwater caves
• Redid RTAO/SSGI slightly and added a new option for them, "high quality ambient lighting"
• Added RTAO/SSGI to the end and nether.
• Added auto-exposure to the end and nether.

FIXES

• fixed a bug in the end where there would be a weird line when specular reflections were enabled.
• fixed water in the end not having reflections when using iris.
• fixed multiple small misc bugs i cant remember.

First modrinth release!

this isn't the first version of the shader that ever existed but it's the first to exist here!
