Steps to enable shaders:
-
DL the optifine mod jar, the latest one for version 1.16.5. https://optifine.net/downloads click on mirror if you want to avoid ads (or don't to support the author)
-
Open the minecraft install folder.
- If you installed via overwolf ftb app, you can open this by clicking on the thumbnail -> 'settings' at the end of the row that 'play' is on -> open folder at the bottom.
-
Exit minecraft if you have it open.
-
copy / move the optifine jar into the
mods
folder opened in step 2. -
go back to parent folder ->
config
folder -> open file calledastralsorcery-client.toml
:in it we have to move the
"minecraft:overworld"
fromskyRenderingEnabled
toskyRenderingConstellations
, so that in the end you have[rendering] #Defines the minimum y-level the fosic resonator will display the fosic field on. #Range: 0 ~ 256 minYFosicDisplay = 0 #Enables/Disables all patreon effects. patreonEffects = true #If a dimension is listed here, the skyrender will only render constellations on top of the existing skybox. skyRenderingConstellations = ["minecraft:overworld"] #Sets the amount of particles/effects #Allowed Values: NONE, MINIMAL, LOWERED, ALL particleAmount = "ALL" #Defines how close to the position of a particle/floating texture you have to be in order for it to render. #Range: 1.0 ~ 512.0 maxEffectRenderDistance = 64.0 #Whitelist of dimension ID's that will have special astral sorcery sky rendering skyRenderingEnabled = []

start up minecraft, you can continue next steps while mc is loading
-
dl your fav shader pack, BSL seems to work. you can get it from here: https://bitslablab.com/ I used version 8.1.02.2
-
When you see menu in mc, check folder from step 2. There should now be a folder called
shaderpacks
. drop the zip downloaded in step 7 into theshaderpacks
folder -
In mc, go to video settings -> shaders -> choose the BSL shader. expect game to lag everytime you switch between shaders, but it should be fine after few minutes.
-
(optional) get resource packs that can take advantage of the shaders. I used Vanilla-PBR (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/vanilla-pbr/files/3069242)
