About this Mod

Shimmer Support Layer

ShimmerSupportLayer is a mod that add Shimmer compatibility to multiple mods.

And simplyfies the process for adding support for any given mod.

As of version 0.9.0 of SSL auto support for all mods can be generated using command /generateShimmerSupport

Run the command and restart the game

Mods with added compatibylity

(This mod needs to be installed alongside shimmer and other mods)

As of version 0.9.0 support is divided into 3 categories:

  • Hand-made

(Every color has been hand-picked and tweaked to look as good as possible, every item and block has beed added, or some may have been removed)

  • Semi-auto (Mods that have support generated automatically, but with some manual changes)
  • automatic (Automatic basic support for most of the block and some items)

Currently there is none hand-made support for anything :(

List of mods with SemiAutomatic support:

Name Description Platforms Links Authors
Vanilla Minecraft The game we all love ;)
(Some support is included in Shimmer, but not full)

(Be carefull! Performance intensive!)

How to quickly generate shimmer support for any mod using SSL?

  1. Run Minecraft with SSL and all the mods you want to add support for. After entering a world run command /generateShimmerSupport.
  2. DONE! Now restart the game and support should be added!
  3. If you want to improve the result and maybe help develop better support by sharing the support on the project's github you need to:
    1. Download Source code of SSL.
    2. Copy the content of java_code.txt file (located in '{game directory} > config > shimmer > compatitbility') to SemiAutomaticSupport"* JAVA class (located in 'src > client > java > io > github > mikip98 > automation > modSupport > SemiAutomaticSupport.java')
    3. Change any values you want.
    4. Now if you want to share your support, create a pull request or an issue on our github :)

Roadmap:

  • add support for cauldrons,
  • fix vanilla Minecraft support not working (it is probably some issue of 'Shimmer' itself because 1 in 1000 restarts it works properly),
  • improve item source, coloured lights,
  • write better colour bias function,
  • add config for additional customization and applying fixes,
  • improve automatic bloom (auto create a resource pack with texture masks)\
  • automatic resourcepack generation (for vanilla MC)
  • add an option to unseparate color reference from block (somehow fixes some mods)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Shimmer Support Layer need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Shimmer Support Layer 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 Shimmer Support Layer require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.20.6, 1.20.5, 1.20.4. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Shimmer Support Layer 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.
