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

@borismandrovnyj Could you join the Distant Horizons Discord server and create a post in the #help-me channel?

yea sure, but I don't have permission to add new post to the #help-me channel | nvm I just can't read....

Hello everyone, I spent a couple of days porting Distant Horizons support to Oculus for version 1.16.5 (Oculus 1.4.7) and I also found out and fixed the reason for visual artifacts on the horizon when using Oculus (mentioned by osoper 2 weeks ago), but they did not appear on Iris. The problem was in Distant Horizons, a patch was applied due to which, when rendering shaders in Iris, DH did not draw LODs when Iris rendering shadows, since Iris runs on Fabric, this patch did not work for Forge, and accordingly, artifacts appeared in Oculus.

As a result of the work, I supplemented the Oculus and DH sources with edits and reassembled them into mods. Below I have attached repositories where you can get the sources of both mods and their builds:

https://github.com/PlxelBuilder/Distant-Horizons-2.0.1a-Oculus-shadow-fix https://github.com/PlxelBuilder/Oculus-1.16.5-DH-Support

At the moment there is no support in Oculus for version 1.18.2 and 1.19.4, since I was focused on 1.16.5 however adding it is not difficult, as far as I know the procedure is identical to 1.19.2. Distant Horizons has received Oculus fixes for all versions.

Also a couple of screenshots from 1.16.5:

You have helped me a lot, none of the versions of Oculus fixed the problem that I was able to do with your file, thank you
