# a fork of Lethal Shaders used in my modpack, ONWARD.
\n**ONWARD Shader** is a fork of **Lethal Shaders** which adds shadows, reflections, godrays, etc. all whilst maintaining a pixelated, retro look.<\/p>\n
## \u2728 main features
\n* pixelated shadows inspired by Vibrant Visuals
\n* water reflections (SSR) with adjustable quality
\n* godrays and atmosphere effects to enhance your world’s look
\n* all can be tweaked and toggled to your liking<\/p>\n
## \u2699\ufe0f presets
\n* **Ultra Performance** \u2013 optimised for much lower-end systems
\n* **Performance** \u2013 like Balanced, except much lower fidelity
\n* **Balanced** \u2013 the default experience; should run well on most mid-range systems
\n* **Quality** \u2013 all settings enabled for the highest fidelity experience<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udce6 usage
\nthis shader comes bundled in my modpack **ONWARD**, but is also available standalone for ease of access.<\/p>\n
