Oculus Particle Fix
Fixes a visual glitch with the Oculus shader mod where particles are blinking through walls while picking up items
About this Mod
Important: With the new 1.20.1+ Versions of Oculus, this mod is not needed anymore, but will rather result in a crash.
Since Minecraft version 1.18.2, the shader mod Oculus (a Forge port of Iris) had a bug where all particles would be visible through walls during item pickup. With shaders disabled, they would even be black. Another weird aspect of that bug is that it only sometimes happened, and also not for everyone. However, this bug annoyed me so much that I tried to come up with a solution. While I found that one option would be to disable the item pickup particle, I wasn't very happy with that solution because you could say it fixed a bug while causing another one. But now, I think I've finally come up with a proper fix, so I wanted to share it here so that you don't have to see that visual glitch anymore and especially for putting that mod into your modpacks. I think, the author of Oculus, Asek3, has implemented a fix in versions 1.19.2 onwards, but it seems like that fix doesn't work perfectly, and it isn't even present in the 1.18.2 version of Oculus, so I thought, I would just upload my mod now. If you want to get more information on the bug and how my fix works, look at the original GitHub issue.

Does Oculus Particle Fix need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Oculus Particle Fix as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Oculus Particle Fix require?
Use a file for forge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.20.1, 1.20, 1.19.4. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Oculus Particle Fix is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
