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

Compatible shader mods

Fabric/Quilt

  • You need a version of Iris with legacy (v1) DH2 compatibility, available from Iris v1.6.11-v1.6.17.

@imheavi Thanks, I've added MINIMAL to the list

Hey, when i use the shaders linked here, they dont seem to work, i've tried installing Oculus but it makes all my game crash could someone help me ?

Hi @Clyzod, could you ask in the Distant Horizons Discord server? Please also attach logs.

Since DH 2.3 has been released today I've updated 1.19.2 oculus build since DH requires 1.8.0 ver minimum. It's just a version number bump, no real changes. https://pixeldrain.com/u/c7GiDVi4

I've been trying this jar build but I cannot get it to render the DH meshes with shaders enabled. I've tried the Bliss and Photon shaders linked on this page, it'll only draw the DH meshes with shaders disabled.

I'm using: DistantHorizons-2.1.0-a-1.19.2.jar oculus-mc1.19.2-1.6.9.jar (@Askadar's link) embeddium-0.3.18.1+mc1.19.2 (also tried a combination of Rubidium versions)

Has anyone else been successful in getting a 1.19.2 version to even draw DH with shaders?

I've been running it fairly fine with minor glitches, using my oculus upload,
DH 2.3.0-b-1.19.2,
Embeddium by FiniteReality 0.3.18.1+mc1.19.2,
Embeddium (Rubidium) Extra by dima_dencep 0.4.19+mc1.19.2-build.105
Shader Pack is complimentary reimagined r5.3

Edit: after some testing found that lighting doesn't work properly with old oculus and DH 2.3 (likely 2.1+?), seems like patches will be required for shaders to work properly

FastPBR now supports Distant Horizons as of v2.0:
https://modrinth.com/shader/fastpbr

Thank you @Lyra-Vhess, I've added FastPBR to the list.

DrDestens Shaders support DH!

https://modrinth.com/shader/drdestens-shaders

Thanks @imheavi, I've added DrDesten's Minecraft Shaders.

could you have an option to order by popularity or which one works best or which one looks the best

Hi @kittenvr, this is a Markdown file, I don't think there's an easy way to add sorting to the list, especially not automatically sorting by popularity.
Best-looking is subjective for a large part, I'd like to keep this list simple/objective.

@Steveplays28 thanks, which one do you use

@kittenvr I've used Complementary and Bliss for a long time, but I could also recommend Photon. Lately I've been using Super Duper Vanilla a lot.
All of the shaderpacks on this list have their own unique style, I recommend checking out ones that seem interesting to you and playing around with them in-game. Have fun!

Super Duper Vanilla doesn't support DH at the moment.

@vianneynara Odd, the version I have installed in one of my instances does work with Distant Horizons.
You could try downloading the source code as a ZIP and using that, Distant Horizons support should definitely be there.

@Steveplays28 using the master/non-release branches seems risky, there seemed to be many bugs/artifacts compared to the one I'm talking about, DH works though. The non-buggy version would be 1.3.5 (even from the tags branches), but it doesn't support DH, foggy. I currently use Dr Destens.

Turns out the owner is aware of the issue. There are some releases online that has no DH support but is a lot more optimized and stable. Here's an answer towards the issue: Eldeston/Super-Duper-Vanilla#106 (comment)

I just wanna ask are there any plans making distant horizon compatible with the nostalgia shader pack

Hi @fuyami, compatibility needs to be added on the shaderpack developer's side.

Did you ever get a shader/version combo that allowed DH to load with shaders? Only the non DH blocks have shaders on my end with your setup and I can't figure it out.

I apologize if i already did this question, however, i ask again.
I use Astralex shaders, is based on bsl shaders, but DH always says that "this pack doesn't have DH support", this exact error and message:

i can remember that i ask to astralex owner, and he tell me that astralex is compatible, but i can't get that astralex works with DH.
Can you help me or add compatibility with astralex shaders? many thanks!

@rakantoh Hi, I checked the ShaderLABS Discord server, AstraLex does not have Distant Horizons support, but it is planned.

I've been digging around a bit but failed to find anything so far. Is there a shader which is just TAA that supports loading DH LODs?

Getting error: dh_water.fsh: dh_water.fsh: 0(964) : error C1503: undefined variable "screenToViewDH"
when trying to load shaders with distant horizons Beta 2.3.3 and Iris 1.8.12 on Neoforge 1.21.2
Anyone know how to fix?

Update to the latest distant horizons nightly build

@Steveplays28 Sildurs Vibrant shaders (v1.54), Enhanced Default (v1.18) and Basic Shaders (v2.5) now support Distant Horizons.

@Sildurs-shaders Awesome work Sildur! I've added your shaders to the list.

is it posible to ask to make a shader compatible with distant horizon? and if it is, who im supposed to ask? I really want this shader https://modrinth.com/shader/miniature-shader/versions and DH compatible to have the best of bedrock in java
