Hey folks,
This pack has received a few more substantial additions recently, most notably with its support for Distant Horizons terrain, something that I eventually also plan to support more widely but as this pack is fully tailored towards Iris with no regards for OptiFine whatsoever it made for the perfect testing grounds for this.
It took me some experimenting until I got it worked out, but Distant Horizons works fairly well with FastPBR and I managed achieve a pretty coherent look with the regular terrain which was one of my concerns, aside from making sure that none of the regular terrain rendering and shading breaks.
In addition to that I’ve also added what I would describe as very rudimentary resourcepack support by adding some simple metal shading as well as specular highlights on all blocks and not just water. While I don’t plan on expanding this much further in order to keep the pack as fast and lean as possible, this seemed like a nice addition to at least give it a bit more flair with labPBR resourcepacks.
There are of course plenty of other, smaller additions as well which I’ll list in the changelog and I hope that you like these improvements as always :)
