Overview
========
The Shaders Mod makes use of a deferred rendering pipeline. 
The gbuffer shaders come first in the pipeline. They render data to textures that will be sent to the composite shaders. 
Optional deferred shaders can be added between terrain and water rendering.
The composite shaders then render to textures that will be sent to the final shader. 
The final shader renders directly to the screen.

Shader Files
============
All shader files are placed in the folder "shaders" of the shader pack.
The shader source files use the name of the program in which they are to be used with extension depending on their type.

Extension  Type                 
==========================
.vsh       Vertex shader     
.gsh       Geometry shader   
.fsh       Fragment shader   

Geometry shaders need either OpenGL 3.2 with layout qualifiers or the extension GL_ARB_geometry_shader4 with configuration "maxVerticesOut".

Color Attachments
=================
The data is passed from shader to shader using color attachments. 
There are at least 4 for all machines. For machines that can support it, there are 8. 
In the deferred, composite and final shaders, these are referenced by the gcolor, gdepth, gnormal, composite, gaux1, gaux2, gaux3 and gaux4 uniforms
(colortex0 to colortex7 can be used instead of gcolor, gdepth etc.)
Despite the naming, all of these color attachments are the same and can be used for any purpose with the exception of the first two. 
The first one, gcolor has its color cleared to the current fog color before rendering. 
The second one, gdepth has its color cleared to solid white before rendering and uses a higher precision storage buffer suitable for storing depth values. 
The rest have their color cleared to black with 0 alpha.

Each color attachment uses 2 buffers (A and B) with logical names "main" and "alt", which can be used as ping-pong buffers.
When the buffers are flipped the mapping between main/alt and A/B is reversed.
Gbuffer programs always read from "main" (only gaux1-4) and write to "main" buffers (they shouldn't read and write to the same buffer at the same time).
Deferred/composite programs always read from "main" and write to "alt" buffers. 
After a deferred/composite program is rendered the buffers that it writes to are flipped so the next programs can see the current output as input.
The property "flip.<program>.<buffer>=<true|false>" can be used to enable or disable the flip independant of the buffer write.
The virtual programs "deferred_pre" and "composite_pre" can be used for buffer flipping before the deferred/composite pass.

When writing to the color attachments in the composite shader, blending is disabled. 
Writing to color attachments that the composite shader also reads from will generate artifacts (unless you just copy the original contents) 

The vertex and fragment configuration parsing is affected by the preprocessor conditional compilation directives.
The following preprocessor directives are currently recognized:
  #define <macro>
  #undef <macro>
  #ifdef <macro>
  #ifndef <macro>
  #if <int>
  #if defined <macro>
  #if !defined <macro>
  #elif <int>
  #elif defined <macro> 
  #elif !defined <macro>
  #else
  #endif

The current shaderpack can be reloaded by pressing "F3+R" or using the command "/reloadShaders".

Block ID mapping
================
The block ID mapping is defined in "shaders/block.properties" included in the shader pack.
Forge mods may add custom block mapping as "assets/<modid>/shaders/block.properties" in the mod JAR file.
The "block.properties" file can use conditional preprocessor directives (#ifdef, #if, etc.)
For more details see section "Standard Macros" A to G. Option macros are not available.
Format "block.<id>=<block1> <block2> ..."
The key is the substitute block ID, the values are the blocks which are to be replaced.
Only one line per block ID is allowed.
See "properties_files.txt" for the block matching rules.

  # Short format
  block.31=red_flower yellow_flower reeds
  # Long format
  block.32=minecraft:red_flower ic2:nether_flower botania:reeds
  # Properties
  block.33=minecraft:red_flower:type=white_tulip minecraft:red_flower:type=pink_tulip botania:reeds:type=green

See "properties.files" for more details.

Block render layers
===================
The custom block render layers are defined in "shaders/block.properties" included in the shader pack.

  layer.solid=<blocks>
  layer.cutout=<blocks>
  layer.cutout_mipped=<blocks>
  layer.translucent=<blocks>

Layers
  solid - no alpha, no blending (solid textures)
  cutout - alpha, no blending (cutout textures)
  cutout_mipped - alpha, no blending, mipmaps (cutout with mipmaps)
  translucent - alpha, blending, mipmaps (water, stained glass)
 
Blocks which are solid opaque cubes (stone, dirt, ores, etc) can't be rendered on a custom layer
as this would affect face culling, ambient occlusion, light propagation and so on.

For exaple:
  layer.translucent=glass_pane fence wooden_door

Item ID mapping
================
The item ID mapping is defined in "shaders/item.properties" included in the shader pack.
Forge mods may add custom item mapping as "assets/<modid>/shaders/item.properties" in the mod JAR file.
The "item.properties" file can use conditional preprocessor directives (#ifdef, #if, etc.)
For more details see section "Standard Macros" A to G. Option macros are not available.
Format "item.<id>=<item1> <item2> ..."
The key is the substitute item ID, the values are the items which are to be replaced.
Only one line per item ID is allowed.

  # Short format
  item.5000=diamond_sword dirt
  # Long format
  item.5001=minecraft:diamond_sword botania:reeds

Entity ID mapping
=================
The entity ID mapping is defined in "shaders/entity.properties" included in the shader pack.
Forge mods may add custom entity mapping as "assets/<modid>/shaders/entity.properties" in the mod JAR file.
The "entity.properties" file can use conditional preprocessor directives (#ifdef, #if, etc.)
For more details see section "Standard Macros" A to G. Option macros are not available.
Format "entity.<id>=<entity1> <entity2> ..."
The key is the substitute entity ID, the values are the entities which are to be replaced.
Only one line per entity ID is allowed.

  # Short format
  entity.2000=sheep cow
  # Long format
  entity.2001=minecraft:pig botania:pixie

Standard Macros
===============
The standard macros are automatically included after the "#version" declaration in every shader file

A. Minecraft version
 #define MC_VERSION <value>
 The value is in format 122 (major 1, minor 2, release 2)
 For example: 1.9.4 -> 10904, 1.11.2 -> 11102, etc.

B. Maximum supported GL version
 #define MC_GL_VERSION <value>
 The value is integer, for example: 210, 320, 450

C. Maximum supported GLSL version
 #define MC_GLSL_VERSION <value>
 The value is integer, for example: 120, 150, 450

D. Operating system 
 One of the following:
  #define MC_OS_WINDOWS
  #define MC_OS_MAC
  #define MC_OS_LINUX
  #define MC_OS_OTHER

E. GPU
 One of the following:
  #define MC_GL_VENDOR_ATI
  #define MC_GL_VENDOR_INTEL
  #define MC_GL_VENDOR_NVIDIA
  #define MC_GL_VENDOR_XORG
  #define MC_GL_VENDOR_OTHER

F. Driver
 One of the following:
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_RADEON 
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_GEFORCE
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_QUADRO
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_INTEL
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_GALLIUM
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_MESA
  #define MC_GL_RENDERER_OTHER

G. OpenGL extensions
 Macros for the supported OpenGL extensions are named like the corresponding extension with a prefix "MC_".
 For example the macro "MC_GL_ARB_shader_texture_lod" is defined when the extension "GL_ARB_shader_texture_lod" is supported.
 Only the macros which are referenced and supported are added to the shader file.

H. Options
 #define MC_FXAA_LEVEL <value>       // When FXAA is enabled, values: 2, 4
 #define MC_NORMAL_MAP               // When the normal map is enabled
 #define MC_SPECULAR_MAP             // When the specular map is enabled
 #define MC_RENDER_QUALITY <value>   // Values: 0.5, 0.70710677, 1.0, 1.4142135, 2.0
 #define MC_SHADOW_QUALITY <value>   // Values: 0.5, 0.70710677, 1.0, 1.4142135, 2.0
 #define MC_HAND_DEPTH <value>       // Values: 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25
 #define MC_OLD_HAND_LIGHT           // When Old Hand Light is enabled
 #define MC_OLD_LIGHTING             // When Old Lighting is enabled
