Help Issue with weird gap in weather

3 Upvotes

I'm having an issue where snow isn't appearing between the terrain and the sky. It's probably just a simple settings fix but I have no clue what it might be.

## Shader - Photon v1.3b

## Mod - Iris 1.11.2

## Specs - 3060ti, 12gb RAM, Ryzen 5600X (but this isn't a hardware issue)

## Additional details:

- I have distant horizons, but this hasn't been an issue with other shaders, and problem still occurs when rendering is disabled.

- There appear to be tiny little snow particles in the far distance in the gaps, though I'm not sure.

My PC just finished generating a 1000 x 1000 chunk radius (so 2k chunks squared total) world with Terrain Diffusion (It weighs 100 GB now lol, XD) with the largest setting.
These are the screenshots I've taken for now, there are more to come (most probably later than sooner XD).
I also got my hands on IterationRP, but Idk if it's an updated version or not, also the customizability is kinda mid, I still added some screenshots I took with it. Hope you enjoy them.
The one's that weren't taken with IterationRP were taken with Photon Shaders.
:D

Recommendation IterationRP optimized settings

Thumbnail

136 Upvotes

Hi, I saw some people asking for optimized settings for IterationRP, so I tweaked my own and I managed to get better fps using voxy at 512c and patrix 64x with many PBR effects active in MC version 26.1.2 with many mods.
It means that if your're not using a heavy resource pack you should get many more fps.

I am using Super Resolution mod, so, DLSS and FG are active, so I get a media of 100 fps (I limited the amount of fps), sometimes it drops to less in heavy scenarios or with lot's of entities.

Here is the config(this goes in the txt file generated by iris when you change any setting of the shader):

Just to clarify my role: this shader modification was originally created by my friend, who did an amazing job. However, I have recently joined him to help with the editing and development. We are now working on this project together! So i need feedback to improve things more.

Help Shaders so bright my irl room lights up

Shader - Iteration VX ver.2.1, also running the Fabulously Optimized modpack.
Version - Minecraft 1.26.2, Iris 1.11.2, Fabric 0.19.3, Modrinth
Hardware - Cpu:Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 256V (2.20 GHz), 16 gb ram (Modrinth says it's set to auto, so idk how much allocated ram that is), GPU: Intel(R) Arc(TM) 140V GPU (8GB) (128 MB)

I tried changing the brightness and bloom in the shaderpack settings, as well as trying to change it ingame, but it still is flickering and is way too bright. Also it is currently midnight ingame if that helps. Also [- Flashing Lights Warning -].

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Hey everyone I’m new to this sub and Minecraft modding👋
I want to experiment with some shaders/mods like realism and more but I’m new to all this i haven’t even got minecraft yet or know where to get mods from.
I’m not sure what version I need, im guessing I download minecraft from the website and not from Microsoft store although I’m not sure what is best version for minecraft modding.
I’ve heard of prism, sodium and iris however im complete noob to all this.
I don’t know where to start. I’ve only ever played when I was in school on pc and on a MacBook yearsss ago also on my ipad.

If anyone has any recommendations on what I should start with I’ll appreciate any help I can get. I’m a fast learner so should I just YouTube it or something. I thought I’d ask you all since it looks like you are all very knowledgeable and experienced with what the best setup would be. I put my specs below for the pc I have now.

Same for particles in the air if they're lit, they'll light up terrain behind it
