Minecraft 1.12.2 support, the only thing missing in 1.12.2 is upscaling on mobs, it works on terrain. added 'Potato Shadows' preset to try to do the fastest shadows I can for low end PCs, will try to do even faster later bug fixes, including SSS out of shadow map range that was messed up and when shadows off was messed up

better performing shadow options for Low Computers, like shadow distance of 20 with shadow distort off and shadow fade on many more shadow distance numbers shadow distance slider actually saves fps now added more minimum ambient light to nether but it pulses for a spooky effect. i'll make this optional later in Testing menu: some volumetric clouds that i probably need to have run at lower resolution to run faster

**crashes on Intel, will fix soon** added: much fuller and better pbr support that takes advantage of every labpbr texture channel. (except no pom yet) including rain wetness support integrated soft lighting on leaves fixed holes in Upscaled hand held items and dropped items, but Upscaled vanilla swords still look ugly, that's for later. will reenable alpha blending on entities later. lots of shadow filtering options should still work on everything, if not please let me know and I'll fix it more to come soon
