PCP13: Beeeeees! (and a little surprise :P) (Patreon)

So last week's outage and some recent sleep and health issues makes this update a little smaller than usual, but hopefully this'll make up for it! I am now going to begin gradually adding shader map support to the pack. The one major hurdle of this are Optifine Emissive maps. Many of these will need to be removed to make way for the better shader-based emissive maps, meaning glowy things won't work without shaders. I'll likely do some polling when I decide I can no longer comfortably avoid this issue, but for the meantime, expect to see more SSS maps, and possibly some normals/POM and specular maps! I've included shader preset settings for the latest dev version of BSL (still a heavy work in progress).

As far as new content for this update goes, the big things are bees and elytra. Two more bee-related blocks have also been added with full shader support as a little appetizer along with the shader effects included with elytra! A few older SSS maps that have been collecting dust recently have also been thrown in. Note that this is just the start of shader map support, so it may take a bit of work before I can get all the older maps properly reformatted and it's looking like it once did, and normal textures still take priority, but this is nonetheless a big shift in how the pack will be developed going forward.
