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.
