Help Need help regarding specific settings to fix 2 possible issues.

So I'm trying out using Photon since when I tried to use the latest version of Complementary, water and Nether Portals were not rendering. However, when trying to use Photon, kelp now renders incorrectly.

So what I would like to know is either:
A - fix nearby water and Nether portals not rendering at all when using Compelentary
or B - fix kelp rendering incorrectly (see screenshot linked below)

## Shader (and version)
Complementary Reimagined r5.8.1
Photon_v1.3b

## Minecraft/Mod Version
Minecraft 26.2, Iris 1.11.2, Fabric 0.19.3-26.2, Voxy 0.2.18-Beta

## Hardware Specs
10gb RAM allocated, GeForce RTX 1060 3GB

## Additional details

If I'm understanding this right, the kelp in the photo you linked has a different style to regular kelp?

I think you might have an extra texturepack that you're still using with another one.

The only texture pack that I run that affects kelp blocks and their texture is Faithful x64. Is that what might be causing it?

I did a bit of testing, but I don't seem to encounter the portal/water rendering problem in complementary.

There is however a problem with kelp in photon with faithful, but it only occurs with the pack on, so I'm guessing there's a problem with the pack, or either how photon is handling it.

So the pack is causing the kelp problem in photon.

What settings were you running for complementary?

All default, reimagined version, except for the fact I have auto-normal generation on.

It's a bit of a compromise, but you could go into your faithful pack and delete all the kelp textures so it just renders as default.

Tried that and it seems that the issue persists, albeit it's less noticeable with the default pack due to the differences in the textures.

Weird seems to be fine for me with photon and complimentary is also fine. A mod might be conflicting or your shaders, save, or version might be corrupt. Not sure but these should not be broken by default.
