issues & solutions

For the resource packs to work properly you have to arrange them specifically. The shown arrangement does work. The packs below get used first, then the above ones will override the ones below if there are any crossings. Just make sure to put the baseline of packs at the bottom and specific packs on top. For Fresh Animations be sure to put the base pack as the lowest of the animation packs.

The best working shader is Complementary and with the Euphoria Patches it also offers the most features to really enhance the vanilla experience

Currently I can't add the Bliss shader on Modrinth, so you'll need to add it your own if you want the beautiful atmospheric time of day fog you see in some screenshots. https://modrinth.com/shader/bliss-shader

If you want to get the End shader with the black hole... That's a bit tricky. The creator seems to share it in a drive file but only sometimes.. You can look for it though on your own. The shader is called "IterationT 3.0.0"

Add these Resource Packs manually:
