What does Pintonium add?
NOTICE: DO NOT REPORT ANY ISSUES TO THE CELERITAS TEAM OR TAU MC. REDIRECT ALL ISSUES WITH THIS SPECIFIC MOD TO XPLODIN ON GITHUB ISSUES.
CLEANROOM REQUIRED
State is better and need bug reports.
Current bugs: TAA/Bloom/FAA/Chromatic Aberration can cause strange blurring or lighting effects on some shaders. (Needs more testing)
Distant Horizons bugs out (Vintage Horizons) with shaders on.
Electrobobs wizardry vfx can be a bit wonky
Scannable causes bad terrain after scanning, is fixed but the scan wave effect is disabled.
M1 Mac incompatible likely. (needs further testing)
Better/RL Foliage doesnt appear.
Weird axis darkness bug.
^^Slashouts are the fixed issues / upcoming in 2.4.5
Say hello to Pintonium! An unoffical fork of Celeritas with shaderpack support.
This mod is HEAVILY WIP and has been largely assisted by AI, and some shaderpacks wont work correctly or not at all.
The following shaderpacks are confirmed to work with current settings:
- Complementary Unbound - Turn off fog related things and bloom to be safe
- Lumina Event Horizon - Also turn off fog related things as well as bloom
- Solas Shaders - Turn off TAA/FAA/Bloom and Chromatic Aberration (bug: entities and tile entities can appear to be brighter than other mobs/blocks/entities)
Not compatible with some Celeritas addons (soon it will be), Vintagium, Nothirium, Optifine, if it crashes, its likely a conflict between some performance mods.

Experience the performance of Celeritas mod with added shaders!
