issues & solutions

You can also use the pack without shaders for better performance & turn Distant Horizons on & off

To get the best performance with Distant Horizons, with which you can look hundreds of chunks in the distance, set your normal render distance lower to like 8. Only 8 chunks will be rendered completely then and the rest will be rendered in lower quality presets, progressively getting lower in quality the further away the chunks are. This makes it possible to run 128-256 chunks view distance with shaders on around 100FPS on a above average machine!

You can also toggle enhanced vanilla fog in the mod menu, to make fog look better when not using shaders AND distant horizons. When using Distant Horizons you'll have to turn fog off though, as the fog will not work on the DH rendered Lods! When using shaders you'll also have to turn off Clouds, as most shaders come with their own clouds and the enhanced vanilla clouds will otherwise interfere with them.

I've also included some liteweight shaders for "potato PCs"

For the resource packs to work properly you have to arrange them specifically.

The shown arrangement does work. The packs below get used first, then the above ones will override the ones below if there are any crossings. Just make sure to put the baseline of packs at the bottom (Winterpack (& Resprited if you want to change up the vanilla look even further)) and specific packs on top. For Fresh Animations be sure to put the base pack as the lowest of the animation packs and the addons on top.

The best working shader is Complementary and with the Euphoria Patches it also offers the most features to really enhance the vanilla experience

Photon shaders do look awesome too and sometimes even offer better performance!

If you want to get the End shader with the black hole... That's a bit tricky. The creator seems to share it in a drive file but only sometimes.. You can look for it though on your own. The shader is called "IterationT 3.0.0"
