FAQ

  • How do I configure the mod?
  • The mod is configured from the mod menu (since mod version 1.1.2). Find "Fog Overrides" in the list and click config.
  • For older version you will have to find the config file in the config directory in your Minecraft instance directory.
  • On servers you will have to find the "fogoverrides.properties"-file in the config directory of the server.
  • Does this mod support Sodium/Iris or Optifine?
  • I will try my best to keep compatibility with Sodium.
  • While the mod will likely run with Iris installed, I wont promise shader compatibility. Some shaders have their own fog-implementation and supporting that is outside the scope of this mod.
  • Optifine is not supported and wont ever be supported.
  • Compatibility with mods follows an "if it works it works" kind of deal.
  • Can you port this mod/feature to X version?
  • In short: no.
  • This is not because I don't want the mod to be compatible, but because the workload of maintaining multiple versions would be too much for me to handle.
  • Can I use this mod in my modpack?
  • Yes, as long as the modpack is hosted on either CurseForge or Modrinth.
  • Does this game work on Forge/Fabric/NeoForge?
  • Loader compatibility follows Architectury's loader support.
  • For later versions this means: Fabric and NeoForge
