Optifine and Shaders
Optifine is always recommended. It will improve visuals with and without shader.
Optifine and shader installation:
- get Optifine from here: OptiFine Downloads (download optifine for 1.12.2)
- run the jar file
- click on "extract"
- move the optifine_MOD.jar to the mods folder
Important: The included shader is modified to turn off in space dimensions and on other planets. Any other shaders will have rendering errors!
When using shaders, go to config/advRocketry and set "overworldSkyOverride" to false in the main config file so you have no sky errors.
