Soft Voxels Lite v2.0

Oi folks,

It is finally time for a new version of Soft Voxels Lite, which features a lot of improvements I’ve made since the last release though the Lite edition remains compatible with OptiFine, unlike the full version of Soft Voxels.

This version is mostly up to date with the latest full version of Soft Voxels that was compatible with OptiFine, with the exception of a few removed optional features and some new changes that I’ve brought over from the latest full version to narrow the gap in terms of overall look, as I have made some significant colour grading changes recently.

As there are a lot of little changes that have happened since the last lite version released it seems sensible to go through them with the changelog. All the changes I listed there are relative to the previous lite version. I hope that you’ll enjoy this update as usual :)
