Euphoria Patches in All the Mons

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Euphoria Patches is an add-on for Complementary Shaders, covering both the Reimagined and Unbound versions. It adds more optional features and settings on top of the shader. It is developed by SpacEagle17.^[1]

It is a visual add-on, so it is for you if you run Complementary and like to tweak how it looks. If you don't use those shaders, there is nothing here for you to set up.^[1]

How it works

Every option the add-on adds is disabled by default, so nothing changes until you turn a feature on. You can enable options one at a time. There is also a Popular Settings tab and a preset profile that apply the commonly used options quickly.^[1]

In this pack

The pack includes Euphoria Patches 1.9.3-r5.8.1 for NeoForge, shipped as the file EuphoriaPatcher-1.9.3-r5.8.1-neoforge.jar. It was first included in version 2.25 or earlier of the pack.^[2]

Unverified The sources do not show any pack quests, progression gates or ATM Star path steps involving this mod, so it is not confirmed to play any part in the pack's progression. The sources also don't say whether the pack ships a Complementary shader pack for you, so check that you have one installed.

Good news: Euphoria Patches isn't a mod where you craft a starter tool or build a machine first. It's an add-on for Complementary Shaders, so your first steps happen in the shader settings, not in the crafting grid.^[1]

It works with the Reimagined and Unbound versions of Complementary Shaders. It adds optional handcrafted features and settings on top of them.^[1]

Your first steps

1. Make sure you're using one of the Complementary Shaders, either Reimagined or Unbound. Euphoria Patches extends those shaders.^[1]
2. Open the shader settings and look for the Euphoria Patches options. Every option is disabled by default, so nothing changes until you turn something on.^[1]
3. Start with the Popular Settings tab. It collects the commonly used options in one place.^[1]
4. If you'd rather not toggle things one by one, apply the preset profile. It switches on a set of commonly used options for you.^[1]
5. Turn on other options individually as you find ones you like, since each can be enabled on its own.^[1]

Unverified I couldn't confirm any in-pack recipes, items or quests for Euphoria Patches, so there are no recipe blocks here. The exact setting names and where they sit in this pack's shader menu are also unconfirmed.

This one is different from most mods you'll see on the channel. Euphoria Patches has no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. It's an add-on for Complementary Shaders (the Reimagined and Unbound versions), so everything it does is about how your shader looks and which shader options you can turn on.^[1]

How the add-on works

Euphoria Patches expands Complementary Shaders with optional handcrafted features. You get extra settings on top of the ones the shader already has.^[1]

Every option is disabled by default. Nothing changes in your game until you switch on the features you want, and you can enable them one at a time.^[1]

Modded block support and translations

The project page says modded blocks and translation files can be added to Euphoria Patches. It points to the project's own website for how to do that, so check there if a modded block doesn't look right with the shader.^[1]

Unverified The sources don't say which Euphoria Patches options this pack enables, or whether it ships a preset. They also don't describe the individual settings in detail. Check the in-game shader settings screen to see what's available in your version.

All the Mons 1.3.0 ships Euphoria Patches 1.10.0-r5.9-neoforge, and the mod was already in the pack by 0.3.0-beta or earlier. The notes below come from the mod's own release changelogs, newest first. Several releases are small bugfix updates that just point back to a bigger one, so I've grouped changes under the release that introduced them.^[3]

1.10.0 (the version in this pack)

• Shader side: a Black Hole in the End with fully customizable parameters, plus an End Nebula with lots of tweakable options.^[4]
• A new "Improved LabPBR" option, so reflections and metals behave as the resource pack creator intended. Refraction, porosity and texture AO support were added too.^[4]
• WindLink support, which syncs foliage, weather, particles and more to a single wind system.^[4]
• Mod side: uniform uploading, which works on Iris/Oculus and even OptiFine.^[4]
• Screenshot steganography: your shader settings are embedded invisibly in the screenshot's PNG pixels, and you can drag and drop a screenshot into an Iris GUI in-game to import them.^[4]
• Support for the dragon_death_rays entity ID through the Euphoria Patcher mod.^[4]

1.9.0 (1.9.3 was a small bugfix update)

• Photonics support for real-time blocklight shadows and global illumination. It requires Photonics 0.3+.^[5]
• A new Pixelated Unbound Clouds setting, much better custom skybox support (including skyboxes from mods and resource packs), and a lot more End customization.^[5]
• Guaranteed 32+ colortex support on all Iris/Oculus versions.^[5]
• A second profile button added to Iris/Oculus through Mixin, so the popular settings are easier to reach and don't interfere with the performance profile.^[5]

1.8.0 (1.8.2 and 1.8.6 were small bugfix updates)

• A big rework of the Epic Thunderstorms option: thundier thunder, and clouds randomly light up during a storm.^[6][7]
• Many new aurora settings: Scale, Swirlyness, Saturation and Dominant Layer.^[6][7]
• All PixelCraft features were added to Euphoria Patches.^[6][7]
• You can now patch the other shader style after the mod is already installed.^[6][7]
• The mod became a multi-loader setup, which changes nothing for you as a player. Mixin support was also added for Forge to improve the experience behind the scenes and fix obscure bugs.^[6][7]

1.7.8

• A minor update. It fixed CurseForge deleting the alternative-named shader files when updating a modpack: the mod now checks whether files were deleted and regenerates the alternative named shaderpack.^[8]
• Another fix for name tags breaking with pixelation effects.^[8]
