Hey everyone! It has been a looooong while since Super Duper Vanilla updated and missed out a bunch ever since my college days started. After finishing 1st year, Super Duper Vanilla has been on a development spree, squashing bugs, adding new features, and completing Distant Horizons support!

Thank you again for your support for Super Duper Vanilla and helping it reach another milestone on Modrinth, with over 2 million downloads!

FOR OPTIFINE USERS

It is heavily recommended to use Iris/Oculus for this shader to experience this version. Optifine support has since been dropped in 1.3.7.

Regardless, this version only has partial support for Optifine! Any visual bug or error will be expected. So here be dragons!

Patch Notes 1.3.8

• Completed Distant Horizons support

• Improved world border graphics

• Improved Nether portal graphics
• Improved End portal graphics

• Improved shader menu tooltips (language translations may need updating)

• Added sculk noise

• Added volumetric clouds
• Added new settings for clouds
• Added new settings for iPBR
• Added Iris tags support (for long term compatibility for new MC versions for iPBR)

• Added pt_BR.lang (@chocotoneg)

• Fixed boat shadows in water

• Fixed Distant Horizons shadows by removing them (modern problems require modern solutions)
• Fixed player various translucency issues including hand translucents (EMOTIONAL DAMAGE)
• Fixed error when disabling water foam
• Fixed incorrect gilded blackstone iPBR

• Fixed FXAA (For some reason, this wasn't fixed since 1.3.5 💀)

• Updated iPBR for new Minecraft versions up until 1.21.5+

• Partial mod support for "Farmer's Delight" and "The Undergarden"
• Vanilla clouds now use story mode style clouds
• Adjusted daylight colors (now more neutral)
• Code and pipeline refactoring
• Reduced glint strength
• More documentation

Hello everyone! Happy holidays! Super Duper Vanilla updates has not been frequent recently because I had only just begun college life. So I will at least release 1.3.7 before the year ends with more Distant Horizons support.

NOTE

DH support is still experimental, so please report bugs and errors on the main Github repository!

So thank you again for your support for Super Duper Vanilla and helping it reach another milestone on Modrinth, with over 1 million downloads!

FOR OPTIFINE USERS

This version marks as the end of support for Optifine (no more patches dedicated to Optifine to work as intended). Starting from this version, Super Duper Vanilla will begin transitioning to Iris.
