Colorwheel Patcher is a mod that automatically patches supported shaderpacks at launch to be made compatible with Colorwheel.<\/p>\n

This replaces the manual patching with a more convenient method. <\/p>\n

## How to use<\/p>\n

1. Install the mod
\n2. Install a compatible shaderpack (see below)
\n3. Launch the game
\n4. Select the patched shaderpack (ending with “+ Clrwl …”) <\/p>\n

## Supported shaders<\/p>\n

* BSL 10.1
\n* Bliss 2.1.1 – 2.1.2
\n* Complementary 5.6 – 5.6.1 (officially supported since r5.7)
\n* Euphoria Patches 1.6.3 – 1.6.8 (officially supported since 1.7.0)
\n* Photon 1.3a
\n* Rethinking Voxels 0.1-beta9<\/p>\n

**Tip**: it’s common for shaderpacks to disable Entity Shadows or Block Entity Shadows by default. Make sure that those options are toggled if you want Create contraptions to cast lights and shadows.<\/p>\n

There is a fork of photon available on my GitHub. This fork supports colored lighting on contraptions and is compatible with Voxy, which isn’t the case with the patch available with Colorwheel-Patcher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
