A shader that blends high performance range with new features, and lots of stylistic range!
If you follow me on YouTube, or play with any of my heavy shaders, you know I like to push the limits and do things that no one has done before. But those shaders are heavy!!
The aim of this shader is to mix some of the state of the art and never done before features of my hard to run shaders 'Icarus' and 'CTMPOMFIX', and the performance of my very fast Vanilla+ shader 'Simply Upscaled'.

** 'Vx' versions (0.3.3 and up) get lower fps due to voxelizing for Colored Lighting. If you use 0.3.2 you will get better fps but not have Colored Lighting**

-physics mod support
-photonics mod support (check alpha versions)
-crashing Beach waves (with physics mod and iris on 1.20.1 or higher)
