How can i make distant horizons compatible with shaders on 1.16.5?

I know that it's not officially supported but i just can't pick any shader, even internal shaders make the lods go away. Is it something i'm doing wrong or is there some option in the DH settings that i don't know about? Btw i have DH 2.2

You need to backport Iris/Oculus 1.7.3 for DH 2.1.2 or 1.7.5+ for DH 2.2+

Optifine does not support DH shaders even now GL trying to modify Optifine to add the support to it There was legacy shader support with Optifine, but it was terrible and only forward rendered shaders had a chance of working In that case get Optifine and a forward rendered shader, if the LODs show up the legacy support is working If no of the forward rendered shaders work, go back to DH 2.0.3 (the newest DH version older the 2.1) The LODs will have broken lighting though no matter what you do if you decide to go with legacy shader support

Thank you, i will post updates if i make it work for other people i can't find the 2.0.3 version

That might have been one of the nightly versions then, I see that on Modrinth the newest 2.0.X is 2.0.1 so I guess use that if you have to

With or without shaders? The generation was slower on older versions, maybe try waiting a bit longer

why do you need 1.16.5? is it to join a 1.16.5? because in that case you could try the viafabricplus mod

My modpack is for 1.16.5 I can't easily change it since i would have to find new mods that work in the same way as the old ones

hhmm yea well you will have to choose between DH and shaders you cant have both at the same time on 1.16.5
