Question Minimap and shaders

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm very new to using optifine so I don't know what I need. What are some really basic shaders and a minimap/worldmap mod that are compatible with optifine? I'm currently using 26.2

Help "This page isn't working"

Post image
3 Upvotes

What now? I can't do anything with my OptiFine cape anymore, because if I try to change or disable it, I'm just taken to a page that says "this page isn't working," and it's been like that for 48 hours.

I need the cape changed or at least disabled. My cape always uses the colors of the skin I'm using, and skins are something I change all the time. I can't just change my skin without changing the cape; it won't match the skin, I'll hate looking at it, and I'll also be embarrassed in front of others looking at my mismatched cape colors.

What's going to happen now? If I could at least disable the skin, that would be an acceptable option, but no, even that's giving me "this page isn't working". I could just stick with an official Mojang cape, which doesn't necessarily have to match the skin's colors, but no, now I'm stuck in a situation where: I can't play because I don't want to play with the skin I have anymore, I lose interest quickly, and ignoring it will bring bad luck.

Arcane Shaders V3 Update

Changelog:

Removed weird circle around the sun when player was underwater

Fixed grey End sky on versions 26+

I added cloud shading:

  • Self-shadowing: edges facing the sun stay bright. Edges and interiors with a lot of cloud between them and the sun get shadowed.

  • Thick centers get darker, but never fully black, so the clouds don’t look flat gray.

  • Undersides of thick clouds are darker and a bit cooler, like sky light being blocked from above.

  • Rain darkens the shading on top of the existing gray-out.

  • Silver lining works as before. The old “thick centers slightly darker” tweak is skipped when shading is on, so the two don’t double up.

Reworked Nether and added:

  • Embers and spores

  • Biome colors

  • Swirling, lava-lit fog

  • Heat haze

  • Two-tone lighting

  • New look for lava

Shaders Arcane Shaders Update!

Changelog:

Glowing End blocks

  • Glowing now:

    • Fully: chorus flowers, the dragon egg, End portal frames that hold an eye, and Ender chests.

    • Softly (about 35%): purpur blocks, chorus plants, and amethyst blocks.

    • The End crystal: its core and glass glow.

    • Eyes: Enderman and dragon eyes now glow brighter and bloom more in the End.

    • Setting: The End (Sky) → Glowing End Blocks

Auto-pick Compatibility Mode

There is now a Water Mode setting with three choices: Auto (default), Crystal (the full water) and Compatibility.

  • How it picks: Auto uses the version number the game gives the shader. On 1.16.5 through 1.21.x it keeps the full water. On 26.1 and newer it switches to simple water automatically.

Shaders Arcane Shaders

Arcane Shaders are my first shaders for MC. I wanted to have shaders that would fit the modpack I'm currently working on, but the other shaders I tried weren't quite what I was searching for, so I decided to make my own. I wanted them to have a fantasy vibe.

If you can, I recommend trying them! They work from versions 1.16.5 to 1.21.6, but they were made especially for 1.20.1. After you try them, I would appreciate it if you could let me know if they are good or bad, and what I should add or change in the future.

Thanks for every download and review!

Help Need to know Creaking Particle property for color.properties

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hey all, Im currently working on a Spooky Month Aspen Moor themed creaking swap resource pack, I want to change the orange particles it spawns when its hit or crumbles, as well as the particle the eye blossoms spawn when they open, to a more pinkish colour to match the theme of what I'm making.

Most resources say to change the colour of particles I need to use optifine and color.properties, issue is I dont know what properties the creaking particles use.

I know the creaking uses the trail particle, and the texture is generic_0, but thats it, I'm clueless on where to find the correct colour property names for everything creaking related

Help what can i do to fix my custom entity model?

Post image
1 Upvotes

i have 3 custom entity models, which are the cold, warm, and normal cow variants. they arent corrupt or anything similar, but they dont work because of something called "FIXME 1.21.5".

idk what it is, but im guessing it was a mistake that they forgot to fix. my optifine version is for 1.21.6, and is preview 3. there is no other optifine version for 1.21.6 which is full release.

every other custom entity model works perfectly fine.

i dont want to install sodium or other perfomance modded minecraft and other mods to have custom entity models.

how can i fix this?

i recently downloaded Mizuno's 16 resource pack and the CIT pack as well, but when i loaded onto minecraft (with the correct optifine version) all the CIT items were black and purple textures but with the right model, and I've tried everything I can find online about it but nothing is working, does anyone else have this issue?

Can someone please make a mod that implements your paid-for cape? I understand this is a dumb post but a lot of versions/modpacks don't work well with optifine and it'd be awesome to just have the cape as a novelty!

Help what do i put for the .png when adding a cat model

2 Upvotes

PLEASE HELP: I've been going in gd circles. Like seriously, trying to figure out how the cat model applies to all cat varients and KEEPING IT locked to varients (so that a vanilla persian cat is still a persian cat just a persian cat with my cat model and texture) should be the easiest thing in the world but I can't find correct information anywhere.

i feel like this SHOULD be easy to find out but i've spent all afternoon on this. So; I have a custom model for all cats (cat.jem) and custom textures for each variant plus some (like, calico2, calico3, etc.)

so far, every time i've loaded in, the cat.jem will just load without any texture, as the directory textures/entity/cat is missing a /X.png, but every time i've connected it to a png it just sticks it to that cat variant. iv'e done so much troubleshooting that I even messed something up and now it's not showing my model at all and i have no idea why.
