SEUS PTGI HRR 2.1 Reforged
Refined lighting. Richer reflections. More control. Built on the original SEUS PTGI HRR 2.1, enhanced with selected Photon features and improvements made specifically for Reforged.
The SEUS atmosphere, refined.
Reforged keeps the original shader as its foundation while bringing next-generation visual upgrades and performance controls.
Improved screen space reflections
Significantly upgraded screen space reflections designed to make water surfaces and wet blocks look remarkably clear, realistic, and lively.
Native emission support for Glow Berries, Glow Lichen, Amethyst Buds and more
Full ray-traced lighting support built natively into blocks like Glow Berries, Lichen, and Amethyst Buds so they naturally cast real, glowing light onto nearby walls and floors.
Ray Traced player shadows
Experience authentic, path-traced player shadows that dynamically cast across the environment whenever you stand in front of any light source.
Enhanced Visuals
Refined reflections, lighting, clouds, and atmospheric effects for a richer in-game image.
More Control
Additional shader-menu options let you tailor visual effects to your own preferences.
Performance Focus
Targeted optimizations and adjustable settings help balance image quality with frame rate.
Cloud Choices
Switch between the Reforged cloud mode and Photon Clouds directly in the shader menu.
Selected Photon Features
Carefully integrated Photon features sit alongside changes developed specifically for Reforged.
Physics Mod Support
Designed to work with the Physics Mod. Distant Horizons support is planned for a future update.
