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

@MarvNC No problem, have fun playing!

Hey everyone! I`m the developer of Distantly Optimized on Modrinth. Would any of you care to try the modpack and give me suggestions to improve it?

@imheavi Hi imheavi, cool stuff! Pack looks good.
If you want to improve performance further you'd have to dig into the code and write more optimisations haha

Other than that though, performance seems good. I usually push my render/simulation distance to 12 and barely maintain 50-80fps on a similar setup, with medium DH quality and balanced DH CPU load, on a huge modpack. Mentioning for refererence.
Good luck with further refining your modpack!
