New major release:

Photonics has transformed!

Photonics is not a standalone Graphics engine anymore. Instead it acts as a Raytracing extension to the fantastic Iris mod.

Currently supported shaderpacks:

  • BSL v8.2.09

Note

Installed and enabled BSL with exact version is required. Once ingame, the shaderpack cannot be changed/deactivated.

Please report any bugs or shortcomings on my Github page, thanks and have fun!
