Aurum has public releases for the latest version of Minecraft that work with the official releases of Argentum. Aurum is generally usable on most shader packs, however, Argentum is still not complete software. Performance can be improved, and more features are being added for shader developers. There are also some minor missing features from OptiFine that make the implementation incomplete.
Aurum has various incompatibilities with shaders, which will be solved in the coming days. Currently, shaders like Complementary, BSL and Rethinking Voxels work mostly fine while shaders like Photon break Aurum.
- Code review on open PRs is appreciated! This helps get important issues with PRs resolved before I give them a look.
- Code contributions through PRs are also welcome! If you're working on a large / significant feature it's usually a good idea to talk about your plans beforehand, to make sure that work isn't wasted. z`
