Snapshot 1.17c, Shader Maps! (Patreon)

For those who missed last week's little surprise, shader maps are going to be regularly added to the pack now! This is the stuff I enjoy working on the most, so it helps me from getting stuck in creative blocks on the 'bottom of the barrel' stuff I still have to do for vanilla support. Everyone wins! Amethyst, lantern, and redstone-related blocks are the big highlight for shader maps in this update.

Regarding animal skins, bees are done, and I'm aiming to get all the cats, the turtle and possibly a fox in by the final update. This week however, I focused more on shaders. (still I got a few cats thrown in there though!). Note that with the new shader maps, I'll be phasing out Optifine Emissive maps. So many things that used to glow will temporarily not glow until I can provide shader-based replacements. It is recommended that you use the config file provided to get the most out of the shader maps.
