Apocalypse Begins [Sundial Lite Fork]

ABZA Shader

A shader pack made for the ABZA modpack (Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge), built on Sundial Lite by GeForceLegend. Inspired by Complementary and Photon.

The pack is dedicated to the ABZA modpack. It runs in other 1.20.1 Forge setups with Oculus, but the planets and their skies come from the modpack; see “Outside the modpack” below.

Tested with Oculus 1.8.0 and Distant Horizons 3.2.2.

Outside the modpack

• The large square sun, the moon and the planets in Earth’s sky come from the modpack’s Ad Astra sky files, not from the shader. Without them, Earth shows Minecraft’s usual sun and moon, and the shader lights the world from those.
• Interloper, Cinder, Eden, Umbra and their orbits exist only in the modpack. The Moon and the Earth and Moon orbits come with Ad Astra.
• Dimensions from other mods use the pack’s base settings: Sundial’s look with ABZA’s shared changes. The Nether and the End use Sundial’s own.
• Glowing ores cover the modpack’s ore mods; ores from other mods render normally.

Known issues

• Taking a TaCZ gun for the first time can show long dark spikes under the terrain. Reloading shaders fixes it
• Outside the modpack, water reflects a square sun about twice the size of Minecraft’s sun.
• Zombie Awareness’s blood marks aren’t drawn with shaders on.
