Important Information regarding shaderpacks
Said solution has gone live since then btw, instructions for it can be found here: https://rre36.com/supporter-area/download-instructions-for-supporter-exclusive-packs

Oi,
as there has been a bit of a surge of piracy recently I've decided to take some action against it.
I have opted for a tracking solution that might not stop the piracy itself but allows me to keep track of the people sharing the packs, as it's been getting a bit too much for my taste as of late. This will require you to join my discord server and for your patreon and discord accounts to be connected to grab the packs, as you may already know it from the packs MollyVX and ApolloRT made by some fellow developers.
I'm sorry for this minor inconvenience folks, but as these projects are now making up a relevant part of my monthly income I'll have to take measure to at least stall the pirates a bit (who also seem to be some real attention whores if I may say so, I gave one slightly heated announcement about them on my discord server and now they seem to believe they can somehow get reactions out of me when they gloat about pirating my products, almost sad if it wasn't such a nuisance).
Until such a solution is implemented there will be no new releases of KappaPT and NostalgiaVX on this page. Getting it to work may take a few weeks but I hope its usable before the end of the month, although I can give no guarantees on that. Development of those packs will obviously still continue behind the scenes regardless of that.
I hope you can understand this decision, as I need to protect my work if I want to be able to keep devoting as much time to it to create the fancy visuals you all like and love.
Thats pretty much all I had to say, and a big thanks to the people here who support me and appreciate my work (which are thankfully the overwhelming majority compared to the small but noisy group of pirates).

Maybe you should consider optimization, this is too laggy
Being performance intensive != being poorly optimised, my packs do waaaay more stuff than your average shaderpack and for what they do they're pretty highly optimised, they're just not cut-back performance packs.
Any future work with Distant Horizons on your mind? :)
+1, Would love to see Distant horizons and KappaPT someday!
HOW DO I DOWNLAOD THE SHADERS
By reading and following this: https://rre36.com/supporter-area/download-instructions-for-supporter-exclusive-packs Which btw is also linked right at the top of this post, or at the bottom of almost every supporter update post, or in the welcome message....
Hey man, when a passion project turns into a source of income and takes away time that you could be working another job, who can blame you.
Good decision ! Hope it'll make a difference
This is fair.
Take all the time you need rre36 its really a big problem which should be solved in the best way possible. All these pirate kids don't understand the effort that goes into making it and building a community out of it they simply just don't f care.
To the pirates : F you. Sincerely, The true supporters who know how much effort gets put into these.
