Star

This is a beta version of Star.

It is not finished, but should be mostly stable. This particular build SHOULD be good for release, pending more testing of course. However, I am waiting to see if 1.21.9 becomes widely adopted quickly, as it'd be nice to launch Star 3.0 on that new version of the game.

Regular release notes

This major update to Star includes the following features:

• Update MC to Minecraft 1.21.8
• Update the included Star resource pack
• Move to Mellow Shader for better performance with a special configuration
  • Currently achieves around 40fps at 2880x1800 on Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe(TM) graphics on the Surface Pro 9
• Update all included optimization mods.
  • Sodium specifically got a large update with 0.7.0 with improvements to complex transparency and translucency
  • Achieves around 110fps at 2880x1800 on Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe(TM) graphics on the Surface Pro 9
• Slightly reduce modpack size, again
