AMD compatibility is still being worked on). The \u201cPTGI\u201d in the name stands for \u201cPath Traced Global Illumination\u201d, which is the main feature of this project. It also includes ray traced reflections.<\/p>\n<p>SEUS Renewed is a reinvention of the legacy versions of SEUS that brings you quality visuals at a reasonable performance using traditional rasterization-based rendering methods. There are some unreleased development versions of SEUS Renewed, but most of my development time lately goes into developing SEUS PTGI.<\/p>\n<p>Sildur&#8217;s Shaders is an extension of the GLSL shader mod for Minecraft, now part of Optifine.<br \/>\nVibrant shaders completely revamps the lighting system of Minecraft and adds advanced effects like volumetric lighting, bloom, ambient occlusion and reflections. While still maintaining high performance.<\/p>\n<p>Complementary is a Minecraft Java Edition shader pack based on Capt Tatsu&#8217;s &#8220;BSL Shaders&#8221;. The goal of Complementary is being good at everything. Performance, gameplay, beauty, compatibility; you name it. Complementary will try to provide you with the most issueless experience possible within the limitations of Optifine&#8217;s shader pipeline. It runs reasonably fast, supports almost every GPU and driver, works well with mods that no one thought a shader pack could be compatible with, fixes problems that no other shader packs addressed before, doesn&#8217;t disturb you with excessive effects, and most importantly, it looks good according to the users. If you&#8217;re wondering about what&#8217;s changed over BSL, you can check out the complete changelog from BSL to Complementary here: https:\/\/justpaste.it\/2z91q<\/p>\n<p>### Extra Credits<br \/>\n>Custom potions @PINPAL | https:\/\/pinpal.github.io\/ | https:\/\/www.curseforge.com\/minecraft\/texture-packs\/unique-potions<\/p>\n<p>>Various bug fixes and texture additions @WolfenXVII | https:\/\/github.com\/WolfenXVII | https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/commits?author=WolfenXVII<\/p>\n<p>>Custom Textures @Parzival2284 | https:\/\/github.com\/Parzival2284 | https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/commits?author=Parzival2284<\/p>\n<p>>Custom enchanted books @Beb | https:\/\/www.planetminecraft.com\/texture-pack\/custom-enchanted-books\/<\/p>\n<p># All of the aforementioned shaders rely on optifine.<\/p>\n<p>## I hope you enjoy your time with Vanilla Renewed and thank you for checking it out!<br \/>\n### If you have any questions or suggestions be sure to post them here or message me on discord Xanthus#3862 or email us on VanillaRenewed@pm.me<\/p>\n<p>## ![Repography logo](https:\/\/repography.com) \/ Recent activity ![Time period](https:\/\/repography.com)<br \/>\n![Timeline graph](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/commits)<br \/>\n![Issue status graph](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/issues)<br \/>\n![Pull request status graph](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/pulls)<br \/>\n![Trending topics](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/commits)<br \/>\n![Top contributors](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/graphs\/contributors)<\/p>\n<p>## ![Repography logo](https:\/\/repography.com) \/ Structure<br \/>\n![Structure](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed)<\/p>\n<p>## ![Repography logo](https:\/\/repography.com) \/ Top contributors<br \/>\n![Top contributors](https:\/\/github.com\/Xanthus58\/Vanilla-Renewed\/graphs\/contributors)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A small collection features additons and changes to enhance your minecraft experience without taking away from the vanilla feel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":164612,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"vanilla-renewed","_minecraft_project_id":"WpqHjvRD","_minecraft_author":"Zephira58","_minecraft_license":"CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0","_minecraft_downloads":751,"_minecraft_follows":18,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"vanilla-renewed.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1990788,"_minecraft_version_count":1,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T08:53:33.023428Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2022-09-30T21:48:18.453695Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2022-09-30T06:45:09.571261Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/vanilla-renewed","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":164612,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T17:17:32+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"e83b462debab06824aaa2910c5cc0863","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[32,4,5,6],"mod_loader":[9],"minecraft_version":[54,55,56],"class_list":["post-164611","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-16x","mod_category-blocks","mod_category-gui","mod_category-minecraft","mod_loader-minecraft","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
