Lightmap changes

The lightmap has been a little tweaked to my personal preference to be a little more vibrant and dark, but it's 100% sure that these changes will be optional in the final product.

Shaders

The mod does not work with most shaderpacks, but it does work (and looks really nice) with Complementary Reimagined (and probably some others, but I haven't tested them).
