yyc12345 release his new BML mod: BallanceOptiFine.
BallanceOptiFine's aim is that add shadow, transitional column and etc for old Ballance custom maps. Due to Ballance technology limitation in that time, the majority of old custom maps don't have these features and this mod can fix this. This mod required the lowest BML version is 0.3.29. But almost people still using BML's old version. So in release topic, only rare people reply this topic. Also, some people think this is useless and don't response for this.
This mod only have Chinese manual, which can be viewes in its GitHub project. English manual is work in progess.
