Complementary Shaders - Reimagined
Preserving the elements of Minecraft with exceptional quality, detail, and performance.
The long awaited Voxy support update is here, but with so much more unrelated features and improvements. In fact, the r5.8 update breaks the record for the longest Complementary changelog once again! In addition to the extensive Voxy support with working IntegratedPBR, the Distant Horizons mod also gets some of the Voxy support features like shadows and proper water reflections. Then there is the rewritten light shafts that look quite similar to the old ones while performing better, the reworked End atmosphere with world-space End Beams that coat the End dimension alongside their intense reflections, the improved rain/snow texture handling, improvements to world-space reflections, a lot of new customisation options, improved performance on higher settings, a ton of tweaks to improve the look of several edge case scenes, and so much more.

After 6 months of steady development of about 2000 lines of code added and 4000 modified, the r5.2 update for Complementary is here and it's the new record holder for the biggest update a Complementary pack ever received.

This update also includes the addition of Colored Light Fog, shader-side Connected Glass, support for Minecraft 1.21, new sandstorm/snowstorm inspired weathers, support for Distant Horizons, and about 80 other things which can be found in the full list of changes at https://www.complementary.dev/changelogs
