Complementary Shaders
About:
Complementary is a Minecraft Java Edition shader pack based on Capt Tatsu's "BSL Shaders". The goal of Complementary is being good at everything. Performance, gameplay, beauty, compatibility; you name it. Complementary will try to provide you the most issueless experience possible within the limitations of Optifine's shader pipeline. It runs reasonably fast, supports all GPUs and drivers, works well with mods that no one thought a shader pack could be compatible with, fixes problems that no other shader packs adressed before, doesn't disturb you with excessive effects, and most importantly, it looks good according to the users. If you're wondering about what's changed over BSL, you can check out the complete changelog from BSL to Complementary here: https://justpaste.it/2z91q
Note that Complementary isn't installed the exact same way as other shaders. So it's recommended that you read the installation.
Installation:
(Note 1: First, don't forget to install Optifine, and unzip the "Complementary_v3.XX_[UNZIP_ME]" file you downloaded from here.)
(Note 2: If you're playing on the latest version and without mods, you can watch this video by DanielPlays instead of reading below.)
Path 1: If you are NOT using big mods AND you are playing in Minecraft 1.13.2 or higher:
1) Select the ComplementaryResources as your resource pack (for many extra effects and fixes)
2) If you want to, you can use a different PBR resource pack instead of ComplementaryResources
3) Select the ComplementaryShaders as your shader pack
Path 2: If you ARE using big mods, OR you're playing in Minecraft 1.12.2 or below:
1) Completely ignore the ComplementaryResources
2) Select the ComplementaryShaders as your shader pack
3) Go to Shader Options and click "Profile" on the top right to enable the "Compatibility Mode"

What do you think the minimum graphic card for this pack. I'm gonna try it with my rx570 anyways, I'll update the result
In reply to 001gigabyte:
The minimum for running is pretty much any GPU that can run vanilla Minecraft 60+ fps. Minimum for 60+ fps on low settings would probably be a bit lower than a GTX 750 Ti. Minimum for 60+ on default settings would be around a GTX 1050. I'm just guessing though
How do I unzip?

Double clicking should work in all cases if you are on Windows 10
One of the best shaders i've ever senn, but how do I make the ores and mobs look shiny like in the trailer?
In reply to jan30907:
You just need to use the resource pack that was included in the download, called ComplementaryResources
In reply to EminGTR:
What should I do if the resource pack isnt working (I'm playing with mods)
Edit: it says: OpenGL Error: 1281 (invalid value)
In reply to jan30907:
The resource pack is only made for Minecraft 1.13 and above.
OpenGL Errors don't matter and are an issue on Optifine's side
In reply to EminGTR:
Is there anything I can do because in the first world where i activated the resurce oack, it worked and looked pretty good. If there is any way to make it worke then please reply me, if you don't have a answer, you don't have to reply
Greetings
In reply to jan30907:
Yeah, play on version 1.13 or above
In reply to isokronos:
Thanks but I can't find any biomes, even not with the /locatebiome command, all says it's not in reasonable diastance
In reply to jan30907:
Did you set you’re world to amplified or something, cause I’m pretty sure only normal has biomes, not flat or amplified or others
Can it change color of light? I'm tryig to make gamig stup in mincerft.
In reply to memefyt:
You have two options
Option 1) Shader Options -> Colors -> Blocklight Color, change it to whatever color you want here
Option 2) Shader Options -> World, enable "Random Colored Block Lighting" here
I don't know if it's possible with BSL shader code, but I'd like some sort of lighting source in the Nether and the End. Make the blocks/mobs cast shadows in these dimensions similar to the Overworld. MakeUp Shader somehow made it work.
In reply to LambdaKat:
Complementary being based on BSL doesn't mean it can't have new features and new code in it. It isn't a basic edit like Beyond Belief.
The Nether can't have traditional shadows. MakeUp Shader also doesn't have it.
The End already has shadows in Complementary.

this MUST be the king of shaders
In reply to marlonbroertje:
Glad you liked it!
In reply to EminGTR:
:D
I'm having a weird issue where the shaders just... don't seem to be enabled, but ONLY in a particular dimension (lost cities in Project Ozone 3, for what it's worth). I can't for the life of me figure out why a dimension should affect shaders, though...
