Poll - Shaders
Ok, I am trying to do some work on 'Just Colored Lighting' shader this week, and polish it up. I am wondering if anyone would want me to try to create a newer hybrid of it and Icarus. Basically like Pegasus 2.0. The Pegasus shaders did not grow well, but the original idea was to be icarus without the expensive ...

Poll: Lens Flares
Ok now that you all have the lens flares what do you think? By default they are on, but the star shaped flares are off.

What next? (Poll)
Having the PC be broken for a few weeks really interrupted my flow. But that can be a good thing! I spent the last week or 2 working on all the shaders I tend to not focus on as much to try to get back into the swing of things, and now that I feel like I'm there, I want to use this opportunity to ask what everyone ...
Computer Issues (July 2025)
I usually like to do an update every week, but I can't this week and maybe not next week either. My computer stopped working, and then my old computer decided to break too. It's going to take me a bit to figure out what's wrong and get going again. I am hopeful to still get something else done for July, but...

I want to finalize this improvement to the colored lighting shader this week, and then port the system into Pegasus early this May.It does a lot with block light while still being very very fast.It will be a bit of a mess porting it, so I want to keep it separate while I work on it and not just put it on modrinth, so t...

Icarus poll -where to focus more
So should I focus more on the terrain physics or the fog/smoke/mist physics or something else? (Results will be combined with YouTube member poll) I also have a lot of bugs to deal with this month
Resource Pack (Update 29)
As of August 2025, the HD version of my resource pack is free. (version 29) If I can figure out how to fix what broke with the 3D material transitions, I will probably start making more textures again. This is what they looked like and how the 'borders' part is currently broken after 1.19.2 https://youtu.be/nE9...

Icarus, poll for what's next
Anyone who's been here a while knows I tend to jump around between things so I don't burn out, but I still try to prioritize certain things (usually just based on what I think looks worst). I have a really big to do list though, and I want to make sure that I am focusing some decent time on what is important to...
