Enhanced Celestials 2: Shader Support

by CorgiTaco

Enhanced Celestials 2: Shader Support bridges Iris and Sodium shader packs with the lunar events of Enhanced Celestials 2, so moon colors show as the packs intend.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Shader packs that run through Iris and Sodium normally ignore the moon colors the base mod sets for each lunar event. This bridge passes those colors to the shader, so a blood moon or other event looks correct on screen when a supported pack is active. It runs on the client only, and the server does not need it.

Installation requires CorgiLib, Data Anchor, Embeddium, Enhanced Celestials 2: Core, Fabric API, Iris Shaders, Oculus and Sodium. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3 under All rights reserved. Enhanced Celestials 2 Shader Support is not open source.

Key features

  1. Moon colors in shader packs

    Moon colors used during night time are carried into shader packs, so the sky matches the event.

  2. Lunar event support

    The bridge covers the lunar events of Enhanced Celestials 2 and keeps their colors consistent.

  3. Iris and Sodium bridge

    Shader packs running through Iris and Sodium receive the event colors without manual changes.
