## **Visual & Feature Enhancements**<\/p>\n

Photogenetic modifies Minecraft’s appearance and adds features using client-side enhancements. Designed to work on any vanilla server, it includes:<\/p>\n

* **Dual Pre-Configured Shaders:** Includes two configured shader packs based on Complimentary Shaders, set up for immediate use:
\n * One setup for **Ray-Tracing**, enabling ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections. (Complimentary with Euphoria patches)
\n * One **Non-Ray Traced** version providing shader effects with higher performance compared to the ray-tracing option. (Rethinking Voxels)
\n* **PBR Texture Support:** Includes PBR resourcepacks for better textures, reflections and details on every block.
\n* **Enhanced Animations:** Includes modifications for player and environmental animations.
\n* **Increased Render Distance:** This modpack has DistantHorizons support, which is also shipped with the modpack.
\n* **UI Modifications:** Includes changes to the user interface.
\n* **Quality of Life Utilities:** Includes utilities such as an in-game screenshot viewer, a screenshot-to-clipboard function, camera zoom and much more.
\n* **Fully Optimized:** Photogenetic is powered and built upon my modpack Velocity for optimization.<\/p>\n

## **Client-Side & Compatibility**<\/p>\n

* **Purely Client-Side:** Can be used to join any vanilla Minecraft server without server-side installation.
\n* **Mod Compatibility Note:** While Photogenetic is designed as a client-sided modpack, compatibility with other mods is not guaranteed nor tested.
\n* **OLED Screen:** The visual changes may appear more pronounced on OLED displays due to their contrast capabilities.<\/p>\n
