Force Pixelated Shadows
A small texture pack that forces Vibrant Visuals Minecraft Packs to use blocky shadows instead of soft shadows. Tested with Poggy's Luminous Dreams.

This is my first ever project that I made on my own. This pack was initially created as an attempt to create "Hard Shadows" which were just blocky shadows, but with a very high texel size, so that it could be paired with Trailers Vision Texture Pack. Unfortunately it only let me reach 1024 and beyond that would just reset it back to 16.
So, instead I decided to salvage this and create a small texture pack that forces Vibrant Visuals Minecraft Packs to use blocky shadows instead of soft shadows. I have always wondered what other Vibrant Visual Packs looked like with Blocky Shadows, so I decided to try and make it myself to test it with Poggy's Luminous Dreams.
