  • Water Improvements: Minor refinements to the shader's water visuals.

  • Distant Horizons Support: Improved compatibility with the Distant Horizons mod. It now looks better, and previous issues have been fixed.

  • Shader Options Overhaul: Reorganized and cleaned up the Shader Options settings interface, and added options to turn some of the newly added features on or off.

  • Community Feedback Fixes: Various improvements and fixes based on user feedback and suggestions. (Share your feedback)
