About

This shader pack is very old, and is no longer actively maintained. It might break in some future version of Minecraft. It has bugs, and I am not going to be fixing them. Please do not report them to me.

FAQs:

Q: What's the difference between the main edition and the modded edition?
A: Main has the most features, but doesn't work properly for some mods that use fancy rendering techniques. Modded aims to fix this issue, by using a completely different rendering pipeline, but that pipeline doesn't allow for some of the effects that main has. Use whichever edition works best for you.

Q: Things look bad when one translucent block is in front of another one. Especially water.
A: Nothing I can do about that. Sorry.

Q: Will there ever be shadows?
A: No. Drawing the shadow map requires rendering the world twice per frame instead of just once, which will roughly half your framerate. This is an unacceptable performance loss for a pack designed to be lightweight.

Q: Does Iris support this pack?
A: As of version 1.5 of Iris and V2.10.0 of QOL, yes!

Q: Are there any config options that increase framerate?
A: Yes: Fancy Clouds and Blur are the most expensive options in this pack.

Q: I see Twilight Forest in the gallery. What is that?
A: Twilight Forest is another mod, which you can download here.

Q: The twilight forest looks broken/looks like the overworld.
A: MC 1.16 broke support for modded dimensions ~~and neither OptiFine nor Iris has fixed that yet.~~ Iris has now fixed it, but AFAIK OptiFine still hasn't yet. The fix requires V2.11.0 of QOL.

06.12.2023 · Modrinth

  • All: Updated to MC 1.20.3, which renamed "grass" to "short_grass".
  • All: Lava overlay no longer applies in spectator mode (iris only).
  • All: Added slider for amount of refraction to apply to water.
  • All: Many Y level-related effects now adjust to the height of the world automatically (iris 1.6+ only).
  • All: Smoothened out noise on lava when "randomize lava brightness" is enabled.
  • All: Overworld and end now respect vanilla fog distances. This should hopefully improve compatibility...
