What the mod does
Euphoria Patches is a client-side add-on for Complementary Shaders, created by SpacEagle17. It expands Complementary by adding optional handcrafted features to your game. The tool works alongside both the Reimagined and Unbound editions of Complementary.
You don't need to patch shaders by hand. When you drop a base Complementary archive or directory into your shaderpacks folder, the mod finds it. It runs a byte-size check on the base archive to prevent false matches. After confirming the file, it applies a binary patch to create new, modified shader archives. You can also generate alternative shader copies with custom names.
File management and automated updates
A built-in filesystem watcher runs in the background. Look, when you add new shaderpacks to the folder, the mod notices them and applies the patch on its own.
The mod includes several tools to manage your setup:
- Automatic detection of base Complementary zip files and directories in the shaderpacks folder.
- Byte-size verification of base files to prevent false positives.
- Binary patching that builds both Reimagined and Unbound shader variants.
- Configurable file naming for alternative shader copies.
- Live config file watching with optional debug logs and on-screen popups.
Adjusting shader settings
Every extra setting in the mod is turned off by default. Nothing is forced on you. You can go through the menus and enable each option one at a time.
If you prefer a faster setup, look at the Popular Settings tab. The mod also includes a preset profile. These options help you turn on widely used features quickly without adjusting every individual slider or toggle.
Compatibility and project support
Euphoria Patches is strictly a client mod. It is required on the client side and unsupported on dedicated servers. The result works on Fabric, Quilt, Forge, and Neoforge.
