WpyQwq’s Apex Shaders transforms lighting with realistic ray tracing and advanced weather systems. It adds global illumination so light bounces naturally off surfaces in your world. The shader also includes a daily weather cycle that changes how the sky looks every day. You can run it on different computers because it comes with many performance presets.
