About this Mod
PikaCat Custom Compat Layer & Stuff
PikaCat Custom Compat Layer & Stuff is a client-side compatibility layer that patches visual issues caused by specific mod + shader combinations, without modifying the original mods.
It focuses on shader-heavy setups and applies targeted runtime fixes only when needed.
Current goals include:
- Better compatibility for Vibrant Clouds with Simple Clouds and related setups
- Visual fixes for Create Aeronautics content, including Levitite variants
- Physics Staff rendering/alignment fixes for Simulated under shaders
- Extra small compatibility and visual QoL patches over time
Use with:
My own shader SoftShade Shader for best result --> https://modrinth.com/shader/softshade-shader
The objective is to keep visuals stable and consistent in large modpacks, even with shaders enabled.
Supported mods :
- Simple Clouds
- Create Aeronautics
- Create Aeronautics: Dyeable Components
