Minecraft mod that adds alpha blending for Distant Horizons and Sodium! (Archived)

About me

Hi, I'm Steve!
I like making games in Godot and Minecraft mods.

I'm currently maintaining 3 Minecraft mods, and contributing to another Minecraft mod called Forgero. I'm also working on a new Minecraft mod called Biome Fog, check the readme if you're curious to learn what it changes!

Join my Discord or watch my GitHub repositories for progress updates!
More updates on Ko-Fi, when I have something cool to show!

Made by Sigmund Granaas Sandring, thank you to him for being super helpful and friendly towards contributors.

I have a Ko-Fi page (@steveplays)!

I appreciate it if you chip in, but of course, don't feel obliged to.
I'm more than happy that you checked out my mods or other projects!

Goal

Currently trying to save up for a replacement laptop screen, since this one is getting some horizontal lines of stuck pixels at the bottom.
They're most noticeable when using the screen with 110+hz, it's a 120hz screen.

Looking to replace it myself with a new panel, which is €80.

Weird white dots

im having these weird white dots in dark caves when using blendium

2023-11-18.14-38-17.mp4

[BUG] Strange textures behaviour

So, the short grass and some other block textures are having weird bugs

• not using DH mod
• game ver: 1.20.1
• mod ver: v1.0.0

Suggestion: Add mob fade-in to reduce pop-up frequency/noticeability

Incompatibility with nvidium

It stops blending with the real chunks when i enable nvidium

odd alpha handling

not sure how to explain it

Installing blendium

I saw sb in the dh discord posting an image of using blendium with dh and a shader. But the issue is i am retarded and don't know how to insert that into dh or what to do. Help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

visual issues

issue happens with just blendium and sodium. similar issue happens with the dh-comp compat pr for complimentary. no errors in log.

I have screenshots but as of the time of posting this issue, github is having issues with uploading images.

Strange water blending from ground

When looking at an ocean from a low angle (i.e. a coastline) there is a very apparent dark circle in the water around the player. See attached screenshot. This is the latest version of DH and Blendium.

Physics Mod custom water compatibility

Nighttime Water Colouration

The water rendered by DH does not seem to change its brightness during night (see photos).

This occurred using the Complementary fork recommended in the Distant Horizons Shaders Compatibility info doc, renamed from ComplementaryReimagined-main to ComplementaryReimagined_r2.3 in order to get blendium's config file to work.

While the photos were taken with resource packs on, I reproduced the effect after turning them off. A number of other graphics mods were installed (the 1.20.1 version of fabulously optimized, with an updated version of iris manually isntalled).

Transparency Issues

With this mod active, there seems to be some strangeness with transparency.

Trees also look quite odd.

Breaks when zoomed in

This mod works ok by default, but if zooming feature from a mod like Zoomify is used, rendering of Blendium breaks.

Zoomed in:

Sodium `v0.5.6` and above causes a crash

Incompatible with DistantHorizons 2.0.1 (quilt)

Using the newest version of distant horizons with blendium causes the Distant Horizons renderer to fail.

Unsure how to make blendium work with Iris shaders

I can see blending between DH LODs and vanilla Minecraft rendering, which looks quite nice. However, from the information given in the description, I cannot figure out a way to make blendium work with Iris shaders. Are there any extra steps / specific configuration options for it? Here is how it looks for me now (with BSL):

Grass culls Clouds for better clouds

basically any kind of foliage be it grass or leaf blocks or flowers will do this, cant figure out if its a bug or something that can be turned off but it stopped as soon as i removed blendium, im on Fabric on minecraft 1.20.2
