Phoxel
[WIP] A path traced shader for Iris meant to keep the familiar bright colors and style of Minecraft. Still early in development and not yet gameplay freindly!
This shader is not meant to be used for casual gameplay yet!

Phoxel is back, but there are changes to how things will work:
- I will no longer be releasing Beta versions, instead all projects will now only include releases and patches
- All full releases will receive patches to make sure they work with the most recent version of Minecraft
Generally this does mean releases will be much more spread out in comparison to pre Phoxel Beta 0.5 releases, but I feel you all deserve not crappy shaders and projects. I'm going to try a couple more things, but if what I try doesn't work, or is something beyond me, Phoxel will not be able to be as performant as needed, and may move to a screenshot directed shader, rather than a real time path tracer, and the quality will probably never be comparable to others.
