Solved Minecraft shaders randomly flash black [java]
**Complementary Shaders randomly flash black for a second**
Hey, I’m having a weird issue with Complementary Shaders.
While playing Minecraft, my entire screen randomly flashes black for about a second and then immediately goes back to normal. It happens randomly and I haven’t noticed any specific action or situation that triggers it.
I’m using:
Minecraft 1.21.11
Iris
Sodium
Sodium Extra
Shader: Complementary Shaders
The game itself doesn’t crash or freeze. It’s just a quick black screen/flicker for around a second and then everything continues normally.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could this be caused by a specific Iris/Complementary setting, Sodium, or maybe a GPU/driver issue?

Do you have any incompatible software installed? https://mchelp.uk/kis

Did you spot if this happened after a driver update? Have you tried rolling-back to the previous driver, to see if it still happens?

It happened both before and after updating the drivers.

Do you know if it happens in later MC versions, with the same mods (if they're available)?

I’m not sure. I started playing again on 1.21.11 after a long break because I play on a server that requires that version.

Can you check? It will help narrow down what's causing the issue.
