[NOTE: If River Water still looks weird, please delete original Block.Properties replacing with the one on here]

[jagged flume]

hard work!

[ionic bramble]

Does this work for reimagined?

[solid birch]

yes it does

I think majority of people who copied the block properties file I uploaded here use Reimagined

😔 im just the lonely Complementary V4 user in this world

[ionic bramble]

why does my river water still look weird then?

[solid birch]

hmm image please

[solid birch]

oh ok

that should be a very simple fix

on your end >:P

[solid birch]

hmm, you want to play with vanilla looking water(aka the water that's flowing in your pic) or with the rtx-style one around the edge of the river with the lilypads?

[ionic bramble]

the second one probably?

although either would be fine

[solid birch]

hmm

[ionic bramble]

it doesnt wiggle either

[solid birch]

you mean the water doesnt go up and down?

just being still?

[ionic bramble]

yeah, the river water doesnt

[solid birch]

should just be a setting inside of the shaders to make the water go up and down

also I think plants similar to lilypads dont wave up and down too by default

very weird thing, but you can turn it on in the settings too if the water plants are just staying still

let me do some testing with the rtx-like water first

[ionic bramble]

keep getting these weird edges because the river water doesnt wave

[solid birch]

can you go underwater, is there like a weird barrier between the flowing river water and still river water?

[solid birch]

ah ok, good to see

hmm

🫠 hmm, this week I'll make a separate block properties for Reimagined, there's a lot more differences than I initially thought they had.

need to rearrange stuff for Reimagined users cuz their block.(numbers) is very different from V4's

Complementary V4 Shaders File for TFC TNG

Complementary V4 Shaders File for TFC TNG (Reimagined Incoming)

Complementary V4 File for TFC TNG (Reimagined Soon)

[solid birch]

huh..... how peculiar

I tried a few things and still seem to not be able to change the flowing river water to look similar to still water in Reimagined

might need to tinker with this more later today

[ionic bramble]

it thinks thatch is reflective lol

[solid birch]

ok I found a fix

for now, just download this WIP Reimagined block properties file

oh shit too big, uh ok. Just paste this

tfc:fluid/flowing_spring_water tfc:fluid/flowing_river_water tfc:fluid/river_water tfc:fluid/flowing_salt_water tfc:fluid/salt_water

into block.31000=

I'll upload the completed block properties for Reimagined as soon as I can. But for now, just do the thing above for normal looking water in Reimagined

:)

[ionic bramble]

yay!

[solid birch]

a lot of the stuff I need to do for Reimagined literally is just copy and pasting from my V4 one here

but damn Reimagined has so many split categories than V4 lol

[ionic bramble]

I didnt find a block.31000

[solid birch]

just type "water"

in the find function of notepad

btw, dont use the block properties file you downloaded here

[ionic bramble]

oh

[solid birch]

just generate a new fresh one, because Reimagined's format is different from V4

that's why im gonna make a download for Reimagined here this week. Didnt realise the difference was that vast between both complementary shaders

[ionic bramble]

like that?

[solid birch]

yeah

🤔 though where are you doing it in. Where are the other block.(numbers)=

[ionic bramble]

is that the wrong button?

idk anything about shaders

[solid birch]

hmm, dont actually know. I've never tried doing that before

I always just close up my game and edit the block properties then re-open the game

try it and see if it works

[ionic bramble]

I'll try it later tonight, I'm playing with my partner and dont want to interrupt it too much lol

[solid birch]

but yeah, I normally do it the old fashion way. Just editing it in the file itself and not in-game.

[ionic bramble]

🥺

[solid birch]

😛 oh right

I forgot

let me set it up real quick

already edited one for Re-imagined

Complementary V4 & Re-imagined Files for TFC TNG

[solid birch]

there, The first iteration for re-imagined (Only covers plant stuff)

I'll probably tinker more with it again in a few days

but all plants should wave now. Besides some hanging plants like roots and a few jungle hanging plants. That's intentional though

[ionic bramble]

my hero

should all the reflective stuff be fixed?

like the thatch being reflective?

[solid birch]

uh, dont think so. But it should be an easy fix

or you could for now turn off block reflectivity in the options

until of course i deal with all block reflectivity

that's gonna take awhile

[solid birch]

Complementary V4 & Reimagined Files for TFC TNG

[solid birch]

ok, I've updated the file.

This covers reflectivity of certain blocks

tfc ingot and sheet piles still wip

[worthy scarab]

heeey
so how should the running water in rivers look like with shaders on?
does it affect it in any way?

[solid birch]

both V4 and Reimagined files work well with the water

no weirdness to it

Both Reimagined and V4 Screenshots

[worthy scarab]

I have no clue why isn't it working as intended.
I'm using ComplementaryShaders.V4.6.
All I'm doing is ```
myminecraftfolder/shaderpacks/ComplementaryShaders.V4.6.zip/shaders/block.propertie

- pasting and overwriting the file with yours.
- load up a minecraft in the world.

Already tried to **import from the text file** option, gave me the same result.
here's the screenshot

[opaque nymph]

note: if your modified shaders aren't working, try selecting all the files in the Complementary folder and compressing instead of compressing the entire folder

[solid birch]

Have you tried just deleting the original block properties file and replacing it with mine instead

[worthy scarab]

well somehow it helped lol (i feel stupid for not trying this)
thanks!
maybe better add a note to the description to do this if smth is not working

[solid birch]

done

[ionic bramble]

hey @solid birch sorry for being stupid but how do you use this

[solid birch]

Use what?

You mean the block properties file?

[ionic bramble]

oh I think I figured it out!

sorry

[solid birch]

:D

[solid birch]

Well I do hope you enjoy yourself with the updated file since the first initial version of it

[harsh furnace]

i can't get reimagined to work, the water doesn't change to the shader-y one

[harsh furnace]

downloaded the latest version of reimagined and deleted the block/properties file then dropped the edited one in, but none of the water settings seem to work

[solid birch]

hmm really?

mind showing me how it looks in-game for you?

[harsh furnace]

1 second

[solid birch]

lol It's working as intended my man

[harsh furnace]

really?

[solid birch]

yeah

[harsh furnace]

oh, i expected it look more like the water from V4

[solid birch]

oh the screenshot above is for V4

whoops :P

but Reimagined's is the same

[harsh furnace]

V4

[solid birch]

what? isnt this Reimagined?

[harsh furnace]

nope

[solid birch]

oh right, I keep forgetting Reimagined has the weird white stuff with their water.....

but yes, both are working as intended

[harsh furnace]

i couldn't get reimagined to work so i switched to V4

or what i thought was it not working

[solid birch]

The only reason V4 & reimagined look different is due to how their water is set to look differently

[solid birch]

sadly cant replicate the V4 look like the pic you have here with Reimagined

So reimagined only has the vanilla water look or their weird foamy water look

[harsh furnace]

this is unedited reimagined

[harsh furnace]

that's too bad

[solid birch]

yeah it really is

as Reimagined is very new compared to V4

it doesnt have some of the more beloved V4 features

one of them being the cloud look

I prefer V4's compared to Reimagined's a bit weirdly fluffy cubic blouds

[harsh furnace]

i'm happy with the way V4 looks, i would've loved the performance improvements from reimagined though

[solid birch]

also Reimagined doesnt have waving water plants properties for lilypads yet, though I've not tried with the latest version, maybe it's been added as an option finally

[harsh furnace]

this is RI with clouds set to fantasy

[solid birch]

yeah I too loved V4's water look with one of the settings, hopefully it gets ported over.

god I cant stand those realistic look clouds

[harsh furnace]

this just looks wrong

[solid birch]

yeah I know right, I dont really like Reimagined's more volumetric fluffy edges MC clouds

V4's is much more in line with what I like

🤷 But i'm getting used to Reimagined's clouds better now.

[harsh furnace]

i like the fantasy clouds from RI

i just realised i've been playing with V4 on my vanilla instances, i swear it was RI

oh well, thanks for the help. i'll be keeping an eye on this post just in case they port some more features from V4 to RI

[solid birch]

😁

[loud swan]

the file path here should be somewhere in the thread info/pins, took me way too long to find the right path

[solid birch]

😗 thx for your gesture of kindness, but their situation was solved months ago. But happy to see you've not met issues along the way by following the pinned info

[light trail]

Hey least they didn't ping

Rather impressed tbh

[loud swan]

I just meant that I feel like the path the block.properties file should go aught to be in the info message that's pinned in this thread

[light trail]

The directory isn't hard to find though, it's literally the main directory

You quite literally open the shader pack and there it is

So the path would be ./blocks.properties

[clear wyvern]

does this fix work for v4.7.1 as well?

[solid birch]

🤔 I assume it should still work even in the newest release for V4

though I'll look into it when I have time. But for now I dont think there should be an issue

[safe crystal]

Water is entirely transparent when I'm underground, no matter the texture style (I tried all)

I mean it's not the fix, I checked without it and that's just how reimagined works

But just wondering if anyone knows how to fix it

Here's what it should look like

[safe crystal]

In complementary's discord they just said me that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe it's possible to change through block.properties?

[solid birch]

😛 sadly cant really help you there

as that is how it's suppose to look for Reimagined

it just looks really transparent there because the water is surrounded by blocks with very similar tones which help hide it well

Though I think Complementary V4 might have water appearances that look more "visible"/similar to vanilla's if the more transparent water thing truly bugs you

[safe crystal]

Thanks!

there aren't lots of caves with water in tfc anyway

[light trail]

Yeah your problem there is quite literally just using shaders, water just looks like that in shaders by and large

Either you have nice water or you don't, other shader packs will have the same thing going on just with the water looking different

[solid birch]

though im pretty sure if memory serves me right some shaders do have a nice slider bar to set the transparency of seeing through water. I remember V4 has that option but Reimagined does not. At least currently.

[safe crystal]

I found the cause of it. See how it's blurry on the left and normal on the right?

I just redownloaded my mods in groups, to understand what happened

But it was none of them

It was in fact shaders

It's just when I enable shaders and then disable them with a hotkey, it gives this blurry effect, but then I break the campfire and light it again and it's back to normal

Maybe it's something with oculus / flywheel & oculus compat

Or just that I'm playing on a weird resolution that is being halved because of retina, and shaders behave weird because of that

But wait, even though it solves it for vanilla (it doesn't happen there unless specific conditions), I still have it for shaders

Same with normal complementary

Doesn't matter if it's with your fix or not

Setting shaders to ultra doesn't solve it, so I doubt it will be solved by some settings

I solved it! This setting is called "disable all particles"

It's weird to play withour particles but I begin to like it

[harsh furnace]

lmao

[safe crystal]

Now there's no rain though

Alright I can disable just some of them

wait I enabled particles and still no rain

idk what's happening

WHY THERE'S NO RAIN

[harsh furnace]

isn't there a separate option just for weather?

[safe crystal]

The thing is I enabled particles back

I try setting rain through commands or JEI but it just doesn't happen

Oh okay the settings just didn't work for some reason

It just went on its own

Yeah shaders fucking mess with particles for some reason

Now I'm paranoid about particles, is this okay??

[harsh furnace]

looks normal

[safe crystal]

Well yeah, here, rain without shaders has perfectly normal particles

[safe crystal]

Just compare it to this

[harsh furnace]

🤷

[safe crystal]

siludr's are the same

hmm

[harsh furnace]

seems like a weird scaling issue

[safe crystal]

disabling oculus flywheel compat didn't help

[harsh furnace]

you said you have a weird resolution, have you tried changing it?

[safe crystal]

trying to disable halving right now

Lmao no it didn't help

[safe crystal]

So these particles are okay

What about these?

They look bigger to me or am I wrong

[harsh furnace]

🤷

[safe crystal]

Oh my god, particles are actually okay on a clean 1.19 mc, but they're not okay on a clean 1.18 tfc (without all my mods on top)

So could it actually be tfc

[harsh furnace]

doubt

I don't have this issue

wait

nvm

I play with particles on min

still doubt

[safe crystal]

aaaaaand I tried disabling tfc and still had this effect

so is it some weird bug in 1.18 that got fixed in 1.19?

[harsh furnace]

\o/

[safe crystal]

Just to be sure instead of just removing tfc I did a clean install of 1.18 just with rubidium and oculus. Still blurry smoke. While it's normal on 1.19

Now I'm gonna try a different forge version on 1.19 to see if maybe it causes this

But it's not possible to install 40.2.0 forge on 1.19. Probably forge versions depend on mc versions

It is actually forge! Or just a version of oculus/rubidium

[harsh furnace]

oh yea, I run forge 40.1.86

lol

[safe crystal]

So:

1.18 forge, rubidium, oculus -- bug present
1.19 forge, rubidium, oculus -- bug not present
1.18 fabric, sodium, iris -- bug not present

[safe crystal]

I test everything on 40.2, let me check on 40.1.86

No, still getting it

Alright, so TFC doesn't cause it, but TFC not being ported to fabric or newer version is a problem to me

Because this is something that was fixed

Is port to 1.20 when it will be out planned?

[harsh furnace]

yes

at some point after 1.20's release

[safe crystal]

alright

then I'm gonna wait

I'm so burnt out now

Or just play without shaders

It's quite beautiful actually

Can I make game nicer without shaders??

I already have better foliage, dynamic lights etc

[harsh furnace]

resource pack

https://discord.com/channels/432522930610765835/1089311534418759881

[safe crystal]

trying this out already

maybe something else?

[harsh furnace]

I don't know of anything else

[safe crystal]

it does look better, thanks

[weary shore]

Hi guys anyone do this to other shaders? I would like to play with bsl

[harsh furnace]

#1092130887585509538 message

[safe crystal]

actually if I'm on reimagined but with fantasy style (so basically complementary style), what should I use?

[placid bridge]

I'd suspect the changes would be similar, but you'll probably need to edit the block.properties file yourself to make sure it doesn't overwrite anything that's different in the Reimagined set

it should be in the shader zip file, in the shaders folder. Find the block.properties file, and search for any entries that reference minecraft:water and minecraft:flowing_water, then add these to the end of those lines

tfc:fluid/finite_fresh_water tfc:fluid/fresh_water tfc:fluid/finite_salt_water tfc:fluid/salt_water tfc:fluid/finite_river_water tfc:fluid/river_water

You can also do the same for snow. Look for minecraft:snow and minecraft:snow_layer, and add tfc:snow_pile to the end of those lines.

[signal patio]

Hi, should trees and plants also sway in the wind?

[light trail]

Before Joe took over I'd done most of the shrubbery/flowers. So I'd say yes assuming trees refers to the saplings/leaves and not the logs which you definitely don't want swaying

[signal patio]

It was the block.properties

[unkempt raven]

Hello just though id put this here as may help others out. managed to find the ids needed to make dynamic trees TFC work with shaders. just add these to the end of the line with the leaves in your block.properties

[junior berry]

oh, thanks!

[fading hill]

@solid birchi need help with shaders in 1.12.2

[solid birch]

specifically with what?

Cuz I dont really have much knowledge/experience with using shaders for 1.12

For 1.12 I used Optifine with Sildur's Shaders lol

[light trail]

They want you to hold their hand in modifying some random shaders block.properties so that TFC blocks work with it

They pinged you here after I was trying to help them for quite awhile

[solid birch]

oh really?

😅

though with all this 1.20 talk. I'm gonna need to come back and update the block properties ey. Guess I'll get to it when 1.20 tfc has a stable 1.20 release

[junior berry]

there should be posts in this discord from way back when with the 1.12 versions of these properties files

[light trail]

Each shader can, generally does use unique block IDs so it's not useful

They are just magic numbers that the shader can refer to, meaningless on their own

[light trail]

Oh and probably not. 1.20 far as I'm aware hasn't really added anything or changed the registry keys. At most I think you'd just have to slap a couple more blocks in there

Would still work for 1.18 too

Very helpful how it's not bothered by entries that don't exist

[solid birch]

Glad to know :)

[modest turtle]

Has anyone tried this on 1.20 yet to see if it works?

[light trail]

Long as the registry keys didn't change it will work

[modest turtle]

I've done some testing and it seems to still work, the only edits needed were merging the 1.19 & 1.20 blocks from the default shaderpack and taking out firmalife blocks since it hasn't updated yet. I've reuploaded the edited version here if others want to use it: https://gist.github.com/ChiefLogan3010/e25fa90f6ce1198aa2b90680d9a7eda5

[light trail]

Taking out Firma life is entirely unnecessary

It's perfectly happy even if blocks don't exist at runtime

In fact the majority of it contains blocks that don't exist

It has a few hundred different leaves most of which you'll never see as you need biomes or plenty for example

Oh or I guess Joe trimmed it down now that I'm looking at it?

Man I wish you could just resource pack these

Your supposed to be able to but I wasn't able to figure it out

[light trail]

Ah no you trimmed it, not Joe. Still no point in doing it that though

[solid birch]

I actually have a personal trimmed version

Though I was sure I uploaded it on github for the base download for either Complementary Shaders. Unless i’m remembering incorrectly

[solid birch]

Thx. I’ll get on this when i can, with your edits for the downloads to make it easier for people

[light trail]

Doesn't seem to be the most recent one uploaded to git as a gist at least

I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't trim it anyhow

If somebody wants to use one of those mods I don't see why I should screw em over by removing the support

[solid birch]

True :0

[compact moth]

Hi, I went through the topic here. Managed to make complementary 4.7.2 work.
But the currents are still orange.

Mc version 1.20.1
Forge 47.1.3
Rubidium 1.20.1-0.7.1a
Oculus 1.20.1-1.6.9
Tfc 1.20.1-3.1.9
Patchouli-1.20.1-84

And the pinned message here with the block properties download. Deleted the old one and put in the new one. Tried it for normal complementary and reimagined. Ah and tried it in reimagined with the 'constant' setting in water. But would prefer the 4.7 version.

I would appreciate your help, this mod looks stunning and would bring long term motivation back which can be enjoyed even more with a fully functional shader 😌

[solid birch]

oh uh, sure. When I got the motivation to get back to it, I'll take a look at the issue you're talking about. By issue you mean with the colour of the currents?

if you wouldnt mind uploading your own edited file for the 1.20.1 version, would be appreciated.

[junior berry]

Try embeddium for the water color problem.

[compact moth]

Sorry for the late answer, yes I mean the color of the currents ^^'

[compact moth]

Well I just tried with the original shader file and the one that is pinned here, I made no changes.

[compact moth]

Ouh okay, I will absolutely try that later :o

[solid birch]

ah ok, so that's the reason. I'll see when I have the motivation to deal with it

[compact moth]

Tried embeddium (the latest 3 versions) but this creates a complete crash

[fast estuary]

Hello, friends! Help me, please. I installed TerraFirmaGreg build and faced the problem that the animations of grass and leaves are missing, also not all the water is loaded. I learned that you need to add new blocks to the shaders to make the shadecks work well. I don't have enough knowledge to fix this, can you please send me some ready made shaders to make the animations work? Thanks!

[teal steppe]

ok so all other water seens to be normal, but spring water isn't affected by the shadders after config changes

[tight lintel]

Complementary Shaders changed how they identify blocks, so this config doesn't work anymore afaik

[raw lance]

Any ideas why I'm getting this grid flashing every second or so in my water?

[royal karma]

is this still working?

[tight lintel]

No, 5.2.1 changes a lot of the block IDs

[proper raptor]

I can open it just fine and everything, but can't save as anything but .txt

[jovial turret]

You're like the coolest person fr

[solid birch]

thx

[jovial turret]

Btw I was looking for a way to fix water in TerraFirmaGreg mod with Rethinking voxels shader, so I was like eeh, those shaders are very similar, so I tried grabbing your block.properties file and it totally worked first time - like a magic 😂, so I just wanted to say thank you so much! It's a bit janky playing like that, but it's just too pretty not to use lol.

[solid birch]

such is the life of an Aesthetic lover. But i will say newly introduced plants in 1.20 dont have edited block properties in my files

cuz I did the them in 1.18

I might revisit and add more when im in the mood to play MC again

[tribal ice]

I don't know why but I never got the plant waving in the wind working, so I never realized it 😅

Thanks for the awesome files though

With it the only issue I encountered was vanilla hay bale. (Made from straw in tfc) Had an emissive texture for some reason

[final wing]

When you start looking at how the block.properties file is organized and how certain blocks move, it gets a lot easier! What I did my first time was put modded blocks in places where similar vanilla ones were

You also usually have to do two block tall foliage a little differently, but mods like waila/jade help a lot with the naming scheme for what specific block it is, ie tall grass and tall grass_tall

[tribal ice]

Thanks it is just kinda weird that it doesn't work out of the box

[minor hull]

Hey guys, after a lot of frustration trying to get TerraFirmaGreg (TFG modpack) working with Complementary v5.2.2, I decided to just try my hand at editing my own properties file:

Works with all new plants added to 1.20.x and all 4 water types (default, river, spring, sea)

[solid birch]

😳 thx

can probably request a** pin **by a mod like Simon

[inland whale]

top piece doesnt move, also none of the water plants, though that may have been intentional.

[minor hull]

Yea I couldn't get the water ones figured out

[minor hull]

What plant is this called again?

[inland whale]

Dry Phragmite

sorry for the late reply, i had deleted the world

had to find some more.

and for the water ones, i'd just search for wherever kelp is in the block.properties and add all the water plants in the same category

but im lazy

[minor hull]

I did and they don't move.

[inland whale]

then maybe just the same as the regular plants will work idk 🐴 but i imagine you tried that too

[ornate surge]

i added and fixed a bunch of stuff. the fixes, all the tfc chains were with the soul lantern for some reason, which, with colored lighting, caused them to glow soul blue-green. so i removed them from that. i also put a ton of different blocks in other categories to make them color-light compatible, including the tfc torch and jack o lantern, all the lanterns, the firmalife oven bottoms, the molten ironand bloomery, blast furnace, charcoal forge, sea pickle, firepits including cast iron grill, and i think thats it? i didnt do candles yet cus theres too many, WAY too many, and i meant to do beneath's hellforge too but im tired and need eepies

[ornate surge]

an update with some more compat and fixes
https://pastebin.com/HHSDADgj

[white kestrel]

Is there a way to change the water style after fixing it?

[ornate surge]

Peobably

[crimson garden]

how does one install this

[ornate surge]

Open the shaders folder, go into the shader’s folder, find the block.properties file and replace it with that

You might have to unzip it, or you can just make a new txt file elsewhere, and rename it from name.txt to block.properties and copy and paste that file in and press replace

[tawdry holly]

I am trying to do something similar to Hysteria Shader

I have tuned it specially for TFC

but there is one remaining issue; the river water

[clear steeple]

Hey just to let everyone who doesn’t know, I found out that Complimentary Reimagined has a basically 3d texture option. It changes the whole experience in my opinion. Go to settings / materials / turn on integrated materials. I like setting it at 190 or more. Thought I’d share this. I’ll never go back to having it off again. Reimagined is simply the best!

[flint cedar]

wait after I download the zip from github what do i do?

do I just put it in my shaderpacks folder?

[solid birch]

Okay, finally came back from TFC haitus. Just uploaded an updated Reimagined block.properties file for TFC 1.21.1 on the edited post above on Github. The new file includes all the new flora and changes to certain plants(mostly 2 block tall ones) to make them look more consistent while waving without breaking.

Complementary V4 & Reimagined Files for TFC:TNG (1.18 & 1.21)

Complementary V4 & Reimagined for TFC:TNG (1.18 & 1.21)

[solid birch]

Made a quick update which includes Aquatic Flora & Fauna movement.

-Mussels, Anemones, & Starfishes submerged wave about, but when out of water stay still.
-Barnacles now work with shaders, but stays still no matter submerged or not.
-Badderlocks & Giant Kelp Flower now waves about.

[misty nexus]

The shader doesn't seem to follow the orientation of the sun and moon, making the light sources appear in the wrong place.

[solid birch]

oh? really? Got a video or picture of this phenomenon?

[misty nexus]

Here you go. You can see that during the day or night the light source seems to come from somewhere else other than the sun and/or moon during the video.

This isn't Joe's problem, complementary needs to update to respect Neos new time stuff

Heck, shader mods might even need to update for it

[solid birch]

Yeah I was just about to say, that type of issue is out of my hand, I just make the plants and blocks of TFC compatible with the shaders.

[lyric dock]

Where do you have to put the zip file? @solid birch

[solid birch]

Put the downloaded block properties file into the Complementary Shaders Zip, when you're given the prompt to replace the file, click on yes.

I asked around on the Complementary Discord Server and they mentioned that TFC would have to inject into Iris and modify the uniform data provided to the shader. I have no idea how you would do that but we at least know now where the problem lies.

[light trail]

It's not a TFC problem either

Iris has to handle Neos new world time api thing

TFC merely uses it

[light trail]

That would be this follow up message here

[misty nexus]

Oh well. Then we'll have to wait on Iris to adapt NF's new world time API. I love modding but I hate how fractured and tedious everything has to be in Minecraft.

[light trail]

The iris guys probably don't know about it if I were to guess

[delicate anvil]

amazing

[rocky haven]

I assume I have to manually add the block properties by typing them in? The file available is a text file and the one in the shaderpack is a properties file.

is there a way to change a file type to a different one?

[light trail]

Change the file extension

Or iirc you can just paste the whole thing in replacing the old file contents since Joe has the whole properties file

[solid birch]

Yup, what Traister said 🤗

[rocky haven]

it is supprisingly not as complicated as i though

I could add missing blocks for the terrafirma modpack im on if i need to

[clear steeple]

Does anyone know a way of making the sun and moon angles match the shader light?

[light trail]

Change the sun angle in the config

[clear steeple]

You mean tfc config cuz I couldn’t see it in there

[clear steeple]

But all I really did is search the word sun in all three configs 🤔

[upbeat shadow]

does this work on 1.20.1?

[twilit field]

is this compatible with colorwheel?

[light trail]

Editing the properties file wouldn't change if it was compatable

Iirc djefrey said complementary works

[twilit field]

ah it's just property changes

just wondering cuz our tfg shaders are forked from an older version of complimentary but we do more than just the property file

[light trail]

Just have to add the TFC blocks to the right categories

Supposedly this is supposed to be resourcepackable but I never got that working

[upbeat shadow]

how exactly do i download this?

do i still need to download the original shaderpack?

[solid birch]

yes you still have to
