Whoa! That took a while! Version 1.8.0 (Alpha 1) Release is finally here, smoothing things out after a period of development and bringing some exciting additions. As always, your feedback is absolutely vital, so jump in, experiment, and tell me everything you find!
Seriously, are we past 950,000 downloads across all distribution platforms?! That's completely wild! Unreal! Huge thanks to everyone for checking this shaderpack out!
Main Updates & Improvements
Nether & End Mist Effects:
I've been working on enabling a simplified, yet beautiful, mist effect for the Nether and the End dimensions – aiming for compatibility on all but the absolute lowest settings. This brings a hint of one of the most intense effects Bloop supports to the masses!

Voxy Support:
This release includes experimental support for the popular LOD mod, Voxy! Get ready for improved distant visuals.

Alongside these, there's a whole host of fixes, including improvements to bloom, night vision effects, and much more. Honestly, after months of tiny tweaks, I've almost forgotten half of them! The full release will include a much more descriptive list of everything that's changed.
Please note that this is an Alpha release, and therefore isn’t fully tested across all supported mods and platforms. Some of the new code might be a bit slower for now. These are known areas for optimization that will be fully addressed before the full release as various variables are fully toned in and locked down.
Please report any and all issues you encounter on our Discord server.
Happy belated New Year, everyone!
