This is mostly distant horizons compatibility stuff. To use it turn on shader settings/rendering options/distant horizons mode. Nothing is automatic yet, but it will be.
Thank you everyone for the support! I hope to get the water and stuff fixed soon but I need to pace myself.
I also want to add a yearly subscription for VERY cheap, as I think that's a better way for you to get future reward for supporting development, but Patreon won't let me do that until I make $200 in the last 3 months (if I read right).
So if you help me get there by sharing, I will add a $2 or $3 yearly option so that you can get what's to come.
Thank you again for the support!
(Version b works in optifine as well as iris and has a few small additions, but it's missing a few settings in iris, the other is iris only. I recommend turning sunlight brightness up a little if you want more vibrance )
