v1/Legacy

Open dropdown for v1/legacy shader compatibility information

THIS IS FOR LEGACY SHADER COMPAT. THIS IS NOT FOR IRIS + DH SHADER COMPAT v2.
For Iris + DH shader compat v2, see the section under the heading v2 above.

Known issues

• LODs don't have proper shading applied to them when using shaders, so at night the LODs may look too bright and not match MC's terrain
  • Can be fixed by disabling shaders in the main menu, and reactivating them when in a world (thanks Maybike (Distant Horizons Discord server))
• LODs don't have (correct) lighting
  • Can be improved by switching DH Settings->Advanced->Graphics Settings->General->LOD Shading to Old Lighting/Forced

Incompatible shaderpacks

• Nostalgia Shader by RRe36
  • LODs don't render (neither on OptiFine nor Iris)
  • Default TAAU percentage (75%) has issues, make sure to set TAAU to 100%
• Sildur's Vibrant Shaders by Sildur
  • LODs don't render (neither on OptiFine nor Iris)

Kay, I figured it out, it's because some config in my mod pack is limiting my render distance to 10 max, but the shader doesn't realize this and tries to do something, causing it to have invisible areas.

it was fixed by just lowering my render distance till I could not see it

Glad to hear you fixed it, GREATJRM!

Not sure if you want to add paid shaders to the list but NostalgiaVX and FastPBR support DH

@Steveplays28 Distant Horizons support has made it upstream to Oculus mc1.20.1-1.6.13 and players on Minecraft 1.20.1 can use the official release.

Oculus's latest release for 1.19.2 is 1.6.9 and doesn't support Distant Horizons. I have support for this version on my 1.19.2 branch, which should be buildable without any special instructions. For the convenience of those who have asked me for it, I've uploaded an already built jar here with 30 days retention.

Edited 02/21/2024: Reuploaded here with 30 days retention.

Can you make this jar version available for download again?

@JapaLG I don't have the JAR stored locally. You can clone the repository and run ./gradlew build to build it.

I tried but it gives this error

@JapaLG You need to use Java 17 for 1.19.2.

@Steveplays28 it worked, thanks

can anyone help with this issue? Im running SuperDuperVanilla shaders with dh

@Steveplays28 the Rethinking voxels download links to the wrong branch, it should link to https://github.com/gri573/rethinking-voxels/tree/singlesample-softshadows-v2

@fayer3 I've updated the link, thanks for letting me know!

@Flux34 Try asking in the Distant Horizons Discord server, I'm not sure why that's happening, could be overdraw prevention.
