About
Complementary Shaders is a shader pack for Minecraft Java Edition with exceptional attention to detail, high standards of quality, and top tier optimisation. It offers a ton of high quality effects, two default visual style choices, custom effects for almost every block in the game, profiles ranging from Potato to Ultra and it's designed to never be obstructive during gameplay. It started as an edit of BSL Shaders in 2018, and it received countless major updates including a complete rewrite to meet the standards of our community. Complementary Shaders is dedicated to be shaped by user feedback over anything else, and it still receives regular updates to this day.
"Unbound" is one of the two default styles Complementary Shaders r5 comes with. It is the less restricted style of Complementary that aims for a more realistic image. Learn more about the two styles here.
Choose Your Style
Complementary Shaders comes with two distinct visual style options. The only difference between these two styles is the default settings. The Unbound style is designed for people looking for a more realistic experience, while the Reimagined style is made to reimagine Minecraft while preserving its unique visual elements. Please note that you can still customize everything after you download either style. You can switch to blocky clouds on the Unbound style, or use realistic water on the Reimagined style. All settings are located in Shader Options.
-------------------- Unbound Style ---------------------------------------- Reimagined Style --------------------

The long awaited Voxy support update is here, but with so much more unrelated features and improvements. In fact, the r5.8 update breaks the record for the longest Complementary changelog once again! In addition to the extensive Voxy support with working IntegratedPBR, the Distant Horizons mod also gets some of the Voxy support features like shadows and proper water reflections. Then there is the rewritten light shafts that look quite similar to the old ones while performing better, the reworked End atmosphere with world-space End Beams that coat the End dimension alongside their intense reflections, the improved rain/snow texture handling, improvements to world-space reflections, a lot of new customisation options, improved performance on higher settings, a ton of tweaks to improve the look of several edge case scenes, and so much more.

After 6 months of steady development of about 2000 lines of code added and 4000 modified, the r5.2 update for Complementary is here and it's the new record holder for the biggest update a Complementary pack ever received.
The key feature of this update is the introduction of "Advanced Colored Lighting". Using the power of Iris, we can finally have a colored lighting implementation in Minecraft shaders without getting the critical flaws seen in most others. Massive thanks to sixthsurge for the help.
This update also includes the addition of Colored Light Fog, shader-side Connected Glass, support for Minecraft 1.21, new sandstorm/snowstorm inspired weathers, support for Distant Horizons, and about 80 other things which can be found in the full list of changes at https://www.complementary.dev/changelogs
