Shimmer Support Layer

The Shimmer Support Layer mod extends Shimmer compatibility with various modifications and simplifies the process of adding support for any add-ons.

Automatic Support Generation

Starting from version 0.9.0, you can automatically create support for all installed mods using the /generateShimmerSupport command. After executing the command, be sure to restart the game.

Types of Mod Support

Compatibility is divided into three categories:

• Manual Configuration - each color is carefully selected and adjusted for the best visual effect, all items and blocks are added (some may be excluded)
• Semi-Automatic - support is generated automatically with additional manual adjustments
• Automatic - basic support for most blocks and some items

Currently, fully manual support is not available.

Mods with Semi-Automatic Support

Quick Support Setup

1. Launch Minecraft with SSL and all required mods, in the world execute the /generateShimmerSupport command
2. DONE! Restart the game - support will be added
3. To improve the result and help with development:
   • Download SSL source code
   • Copy the contents of the java_code.txt file (located in {game directory} > config > shimmer > compatitbility) to the JAVA class SemiAutomaticSupport"* (located in src > client > java > io > github > mikip98 > automation > modSupport > SemiAutomaticSupport.java)
   • Make necessary changes
   • Create a pull request or issue on the project's GitHub
