BottomlessThought's Realism

Recommended:
I highly recommend going here to download the Patrix Add-On, and here to download the Patrix Models. Place both of these in the resourcepack folder before you start up the pack for the first time, and they should even be auto-loaded (DO NOT use the install button, download the files and place them in the folder. Installing will override the Patrix basic pack and your game textures will be broken.)

You should also go to the Haubna Patreon page for Physics Mod Pro. Unfortunately, the Hysteria shader isn't compatible with Water Physics, so I've disabled that. Drop the mod into your mods folder, and make sure to remove the other physics mod file! 

Minecraft Setup:
Make sure you have Java set up properly for Minecraft in the CurseForge launcher. Give it as much RAM as you can spare, and under additional arguments, you should have:
-Xms8G -Xmx8G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:-ZUncommit -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled

Extras:
For extra realism, try setting your character's height to match your real-world height!

Use "/attribute @s generic.scale base set " followed by a scaling value that is your Height in Meters divided by two. I'm 5'8", so my scaling value was ~0.8785. 

If you have a real super beefy computer, consider trying the Rethinking Voxels or Photon shaders, both look amazing and are compatible with Distant Horizons... But, with all these other mods, performance isn't great. 

• This modpack is mostly finished at this point. I'll keep maintaining it, but now the real work is going on over at Phase 3 - BottomlessThought's Survival. 

Likely Unsolvable Issues:

• Some blocks cull blocks around them, leaving holes in the terrain. (Pretty rare)
• No Cubes is not compatible with Distant Horizons. (Not very noticable unless you're looking for it.)

Possibly Solvable Issues:

• Some trees spawned by Terralith use Wood instead of Logs, meaning that Round Trees will not make them round.
