Shader Support

These tweaks not only improve overall aesthetics but also optimize performance, making the shader accessible across a wide range of systems while maintaining a smooth and immersive vanilla-friendly look.

This modpack also supports Distant Horizons and Voxy, the mod "Chunks fade in" must be turned off.

Complementary Shaders + Euphoria Patches:

Improve Performance

In order to improve performance, i recommend tweaking the shaders (or using a lighter one), turn off Fresh Animations for both player and mobs, and turn off xali's Enhanced Vanilla. About 20% more fps.
