Euphoria Patches Shaders

Welcome to Euphoria Shaders, and wow, there's a lot to unpack here. Based on the Complementary shader, which is arguably the most popular shader pack right now, Euphoria isn't a standalone pack but is installed in the user’s mod folder, opening up so many more possibilities than a conventional shader pack.

Fog & Dimensions

Firstly, the player gains much more control over fog and water, especially in the End and Nether biomes, allowing for personalized shader profiles.

Noise on lava (looks like hot and cold spots) and a lava edge setting make you want to dip your toes into the Nether lava, even though you know it won't end well. When you first enter the End in your new survival world, suddenly you don’t feel like slaying the dragon but keeping the Boss around because you don’t want to destroy the end crystals that look like something straight out of a AAA fantasy game, with the "End crystal Vortex" feature.

Winter

The inbuilt winter feature transforms the entire Minecraft world into a winter wonderland, adding a snow and frost-like layer over trees and grass, and settings to tweak the aurora feature, allowing for color changes, as well as an aurora color feature, which adjusts the moon-skylight color to match your aurora.

Lighting

An entirely different feature is the addition to Complementary’s colored lighting, with lots of different glowing blocklight colors, and when used correctly, it looks incredibly good. It does hit performance though, with an average drop of ~10 - 20 fps in the worst-case scenario. But it's worth the fps drop, and let me tell you, this shader offers some of the best volumetric lighting of any non-RT shader.

Screenshotting

For all the screenshot enthusiasts out there, have I got something for you! Paralleled only by rre36’s shaders in camera tweaking, Euphoria has you covered; VHS-type effects, scan-line, and long exposure settings have all come together here to finally create that perfect screenshot you’ve always wanted. And don’t forget tilt shift, also called focus blur, which is the best of them all, making the focused object look like a miniature of itself while blurring the rest.

All in all, Euphoria makes an already great shader even better with its extra customization features. Without a doubt, this makes it the most customizable shader, featuring some of the coolest additions and creative effects I’ve ever seen in a shader.
