Defined PBR 1.1.8 - Early Access!

Before I get into any of the great features in this release, I'd like to sincerely thank you all for becoming members of this Patreon. Thanks to you all and the greater community I've been able to upgrade my GPU from an RTX 2060 to an RTX 3060ti, which has already led to a much smoother and more responsive development experience. You are truly appreciated!

With the recent addition of many new features for 1.19 in both the release and preview versions of the game, I now have an early access release of Defined PBR ready to add full support to the new features! I've gotten a lot more features implemented verses the previous release here, so dive right in!

I've been able to nearly completely fix all of the Warden's rendering issues, and have even gotten the animation to work properly! Take a look:

I've uploaded a more detailed look at its animation here: https://youtu.be/dNJgwsoQu_o 

Next, I've added full PBR support to all of the new blocks added in the latest preview versions and in the experimental features!

I've also tweaked the Froglight textures so that they emit a much more coloured lighting verses their originals: 

I've added full Mangrove Swamp compatibility to the pack addons such as Luminosity and Cinematic/Subtle Fog as well:

Finally, I've added several more entity PBR textures, a few of which you can see here:

With this Early Access release I'll also be including "The Entity PBR Sandbox", which is the addon I've been using to preview all of the PBR textures I've been designing for entities. When you install the addon to a world, you'll find all of the custom blocks in the creative inventory. Interacting with them after being placed down will trigger a block state change, displaying a variant of the original entity. You will need all experimental features turned on for the addon to function at the moment (probably excluding custom biomes, but I haven't determined the exact details yet. best to be safe and turn on all of them).
