Phoxel PT

## Please read!
This shader is still in beta, expect to encounter issues, because you will. When you do come across issues, let me know about it! I am actively working on improving and fixing up Phoxel, and your help will make it a lot easier

## About Phoxel
Phoxel was started because of a lack of publicly available path tracing shaders for Minecraft, and was originally meant to be purely vanilla in it’s style. But with the 0.6 re-release, Phoxel is starting to take on it’s own visual style, and I now strive for Phoxel to capture some of the beauty of real life, mixed with the unique ambience and blocky beauty of the Minecraft we’ve all come to love.

Phoxel currently covers two shaders: Phoxel PT, and Phoxel Lite, some info will differ between the two. All new releases and features will come out on Phoxel PT before Phoxel Lite, but Phoxel Lite will have a few features before Phoxel PT, purely because some features are much easier to implement without path tracing.

## Phoxel PT
### Phoxel PT is designed for screenshots, if you want to use Phoxel for gameplay, please check out Phoxel Lite (Not yet available)
Phoxel PT is the original, with the goal of eventually capturing Phoxel, with it’s core philosophy, at it’s absolute best. (with some render time of course :P)

## Extra Info
Report issues and see up coming updates for the project on [Github](https://github.com/Despatra/Phoxel). See events, ask questions, and do more in the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/GSF9D3Q2T5)

### Most Recent Update
Phoxel is back, but there are changes to how things will work:
1. I will no longer be releasing Beta versions, instead all projects will now only include releases and patches
2. All full releases will receive patches to make sure they work with the most recent version of Minecraft

Generally this does mean releases will be much more spread out in comparison to pre Phoxel Beta 0.5 releases, but I feel you all deserve not crappy shaders and projects.
I’m going to try a couple more things, but if what I try doesn’t work, or is something beyond me, Phoxel will not be able to be as performant as needed, and may move to a screenshot directed shader, rather than a real time path tracer, and the quality will probably never be comparable to others.

#### Frequently asked questions

1. “When will Photon be released for _new Minecraft version_?”
– Shader packs are generally not very dependent on MC versions; as long as Iris is available, Photon should just work.

## Features

* Fully revamped sky, lighting and water
* Detailed clouds with several layers and many different cloud types
* Immersive weather system providing different skies each day
* Voxel-based colored lighting (enabled with Ultra profile, requires Iris)
* Screen-space reflections

* Much improved image quality with TAA, FXAA and CAS
* Advanced temporal upscaling (disabled by default) for low end devices
* Extensive settings menu allowing you to customize every aspect of the shader
* Full labPBR resource pack support

## Compatibility

### Shader loaders

Pegasus Shaders

If you follow me on [YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/@timetravelbeard3588?si=gBJoIsu4O9kolu_r), or play with any of my heavy shaders, you know I like to push the limits and do things that no one has done before. But those shaders are heavy!!

The aim of this shader is to mix some of the state of the art and never done before features of my hard to run shaders ‘[Icarus](https://www.patreon.com/timetravelbeard)’ and ‘[CTMPOMFIX](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/ctmpomfix-shader-chocapic13-shaders-edit)’, and the performance of my very fast Vanilla+ shader ‘[Simply Upscaled](https://modrinth.com/shader/simply-upscaled)’.

This is Pretty Early in development.

** ‘Vx’ versions (0.3.3 and up) get lower fps due to voxelizing for Colored Lighting. If you use 0.3.2 you will get better fps but not have Colored Lighting**

Current notable features:

-distant horizons support

-physics mod support

-photonics mod support (check alpha versions)

-crashing Beach waves (with physics mod and iris on 1.20.1 or higher)

-optional texture upscaling

OpenShad


## Français

Voici mon tout premier shader que j’ai codé, j’ai choisi ce nom car c’est un shader qui n’a pas de ressemblance précise, il peut être changé au gré des envies grace au paramètre.

Mon idée et de créer un shader avec plein de fonction incluse et paramétrable sans pour autant lui donner un thème, afin que les utilisateurs ou les créateurs puissent l’utiliser pour créer leur propre shader ou l’utiliser et profiter des fonctionnalités en tant que joueur.

Le shader est encore en Alpha, pour l’instant les paramètres en jeu son compliquer à utiliser, le code n’est pas très bien écrit et il manque beaucoup de choses que les shaders d’aujourd’hui ont.

## English

Here’s the first shader I’ve coded. I chose this name because it’s a shader that has no precise resemblance, and can be changed at will thanks to the parameter

My idea is to create a shader with lots of functions included and customizable without giving it a theme, so that users or creator can use it to create their own shader or use it and enjoy the features as a player.

The shader is still in Alpha, so for the moment the in-game parameters are complicated to use, the code isn’t very well written and it misses a lot of things that today’s shaders have

OPAL Shaders

# ABOUT

OPAL Shaders is a shaderpack for Minecraft Java Edition based on [BSL Shaders](https://bitslablab.com/bslshaders/) created by Capt Tatsu.
It aims to blend a fantasy atmosphere with natural colors and contrast while staying true to Minecraft’s original style.

If you’re using Iris, I recommend installing [LambDynamicLights](https://modrinth.com/mod/lambdynamiclights) mod for dynamic lights.

# AGREEMENT

### You’re allowed to:

– Use this shaderpack for taking and sharing screenshots and videos.
– Publish your heavily modified version of the pack if both OPAL and BSL shaders are clearly credited (including their authors) and the name of your edit is original.

### You’re not allowed to:

– Redistribute the shaderpack without my permission.
– Claim (and rename) my shaderpack (or its code) as your own.

ONWARD Shader

# a fork of Lethal Shaders used in my modpack, ONWARD.
