Simply No Shading

This mod mimics OptiFine's Internal Shader by default, but not being a shader has the added performance benefit. Stability and compatibility may improve, considering this is an open-source project where anyone can report issues and suggest changes to the underlying code. Certain features, such as in-game bindable key mappings, can toggle specific shading.
