📋 About This Mod
Quick edit of Northern Ice - IMR edition's Complex Material textures with tweaked parallax, glossiness, environment, and metallic maps.
Aside from personal tweaks, I removed the metallic map since glaciers aren't metal :). Additionally, I modified the glossiness and environment maps so that only the icy bits of the glacier are shiny.

With 92 endorsements and over 27,000 downloads, it's a niche but well-received cosmetic improvement for players using the IMR setup.

- 92 endorsements from a niche audience means it works for those who use it
