WpyQwq's Apex Shaders (26.1.2, 1.20.1) – Ray-Traced Global Illumination

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.
