Description
There's a swan song coming for you...
A breath of fresh air, a Right Proper shaders mod built from the ground up for Minecraft 1.7.10!
Designed with compatibility-first, around supporting modpacks old and new, tested against era-appropriate shaderpacks.
Compatibility
Compatible with most other popular client-side optimization and graphics mods, including but not limited to:
- FalseTweaks
- Beddium
- Right Proper Lighting Engine
- Right Proper MCPatcher
- HodgePodge
- FastCraft
- CoreTweaks
- ArchaicFix
- BugTorch
- NotFine
With expected incompatibilities with:
- OptiFine (any)
- Original ShadersMod
- MCPatcher: Forge (use Right Proper MCPatcher)
- Neodymium (use Beddium)
- Angelica (May work with certain modules)
- OptimizationsAndTweaks (O&T has very aggressive patches that break with most other graphics mods. Do not use it.)
Technical
SwanSong is a standalone replacement for ShadersMod, with initial support focused on shaders that already work with OptiFine 1.7.10_HD_U_E7.
It is not a backport of Iris, nor a direct descendant of ShadersMod or the GLSL Shaders mod. Outside of acting as an implementation of the specification pioneered by said mods.
A few other goodies such as threaded screenshots, OptiFine-like zooming, and a faster font rendering module are included as a bonus!
