[Download] SEUS PTGI E8 Release!
🕑 Added 2019-07-06 06:23:22 +0000 UTC
SEUS PTGI E8 is here, along with some exciting new additions and improvements!
First of all, E8 has an entirely new water and underwater rendering system! Unfortunately this new feature causes incompatibility with Minecraft 1.12 until the developer of OptiFine ports back newer features that this relies on. If you want to read more about this new feature, you can check this dev news post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/seus-ptgi-e8-dev-27746705
As I’ve said before, my long-term goal for SEUS PTGI is for it to be enjoyable for actual survival gameplay, and this update brings SEUS PTGI a lot closer to that goal. There’s a new option for fixing all GI light leaks while in caves, a new option for dynamic held light emission (only works for items you’re holding, not other players or entities), and a lot of other fixes and improvements.
Also, a big improvement has been made to the diffuse GI filter that allows for much better preservation of contact shadows.
With all of these new features, expect a slight overall performance drop in this release. Know that I’ll be working on optimizing these new features for the next release.
Here’s the changelog:
- Minecraft 1.14.3 + OptiFine HD U F1 compatibility
- Significant diffuse GI filter improvements, better contact shadows, less blobby/noisy lighting overall
- Fixed weird lighting bug that happened when the player crossed a world coordinate that is a power of two (128, 256, 512, etc)
- Land atmospheric scattering has been restored (for nice distance fog)
- Water/Underwater rendering completely redesigned
- Physically-based light absorption (blue tint) through water
- Caustics (visible directly and in reflections)
- Underwater godrays/volumetric lighting with caustics influence
- Water casts “caustics” shadows, instead of just being applied on any surface behind water
- Colored shadows from stained glass
- Fixed blue ice and stripped wood not writing to the GI voxel volume
- Enchanted weapons and armor now display properly (not as solid purple)
- Campfire and lanterns emit GI
- Fixed light emitted by lava being way too dim
- Added option “Full Cave GI Leak Fix” in “Raytracing Options” that prevents all GI light leaks while in caves. Read the tooltip for more information
- Fixed weird damaged block rendering
- Fixed wrong screen-space GI tracing intensity
- Added “Dynamic Held Light” option, to enable held lights emitting light into the scene (in Lighting & Shadows Options, on by default). For now, any held item only emits torch-colored lighting
- Removed “RAIN_SPLASH_BILATERAL” option, it’s always enabled now and achieved in a cheaper way
- Added “Sunlight Intensity” option (in Lighting & Shadows Options)
- Fixed problem where half of custom skyboxes wouldn’t render
- Forced vignette overlay to be disabled
- Fixed carpets not on top of a solid block writing as a solid block for the GI voxel volume. (used to cause broken lighting)
- Implemented night vision status effect
- Implemented blindness status effect
- Added options for changing which channel is used for specular smoothness and metalness (in Surface Options)
- Added option for interpreting specular texture smoothness as roughness instead (in Surface Options)
- Added “Post Sharpening” option (in Post-Processing Settings), adds sharpening to the image before it’s presented, can help if you play at less than 1.0x Render Quality
- Added “Motion Blur HQ” option (in Post-Processing Settings), for higher quality motion blur
- Added “Motion Blur Intensity” option (in Post-Processing Settings)
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS FOR USING THIS SHADER PACK!
- Minecraft 1.13.2 or 1.14.3 (1.12 compatibility isn’t possible until OptiFine for 1.12 gets an update)
- OptiFine HD U E7 or newer
- Options > Video Settings > Details > Alternate Blocks: OFF
- Options > Video Settings > Details > Trees: Fancy or Fast (Smart may break lighting)
- Options > Video Settings > Quality > Natural Textures: OFF
- Options > Video Settings > Shaders > Shadow Quality: 1x
- Options > Video Settings > Shaders > Old Lighting : DEFAULT
- Resource packs with custom block models may cause issues
Some of the currently known issues are as follows:
- Being underwater in ravines/caves shows some light leaking, and “glowing” water fog. This is unavoidable currently.
- Some artifacts on edges of water shadows (will improve in the future)
- "Disco Floor" flickering artifact mostly seen in reflections (the new Secondary GI Samples option can help with this)
- Secondary GI bounces (2nd bounce and onward) can take a while to adapt to lighting changes
- Blocks which are not a full-sized cube in the world aren't considered properly in lighting and reflections (causes artifacts with half slabs, stairs, and the like)
- Issues with the rendering of semi-transparent/translucent materials
AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON GRAPHICS DRIVER ISSUES AND GPU COMPATIBILITY:
Since different GPUs can compile shaders differently than others, you may experience compile errors (causes "[Shaders] Error: Invalid program..." messages to appear in the in-game chat).
If you experience compile errors and you're using an NVIDIA GPU, you can help me fix them by following the steps on this page, in the "How to Report a Compile Error" drop-down section and sending me the log!
Compatibility with AMD GPUs is not possible at the moment.
Compatibility with Intel GPUs is not possible at all!

its probly another texture packs
Efstathios panayiotou
i cant seem to find a way to enable pam can anyone pls help me
does your texture pack have the 2 texture files with _n and _s behind it. example dirt.png will need dirt_s.png and dirt_n.png for 3d parallax and surface reflecting to work.
im having the same problem :/
charlie
you probably are running optifine 1.12.2, you need optifine 1.13.2 E7
Crybit
Can you link me? Apparently its in v11 but I dont have access to the website.

Hello, how do I enable POM? It looks beautiful so far but textures are flat and I've seen videos where textures are 3D.
Dummy Thicc Bruh Moment
Hey so the texture pack works beautifully, but water blocks are invisible now. What do I do?
Leo
pretty sure you need a resource pack that supports reflections and such.
Birkir Haraldss
this is pretty broken D:
Dirk Böhle
i have the same issue and i don't find solutions...
MeKo
I dont have any reflections on my blocks
Alex
If I look up from under the water i see darkness and at the sides i can see all the blocks in the game
Lee
Mine is just broken completely
Garonbird92
Apologies but how do i sign on to your website? it keeps asking for a username and password
Ciathyza
Sorry but it looks like crap on my GTX 1080 and that at 20 FPS! Does it require an RTX to actually have the graphic fidelity as seen in hodilton videos and run at a playable framerate? If so, I just wasted $10 on this. Shaders from 8 years ago looked better.
Chris ziemski
Lanterns do not emmit light.........has this been adressed?
NoirForest
How do you control the Depth of Field setting?
Michele McLaren
leaves arent moving for me is there anyway i can fix that?
pyongus
Everything seems to be working beautifully- except for one issue I'm facing, where the sky from underwater is black. Not sure if this is a simple fix, or a bug.
Darien
does anyone know why the water isn't showing up for me, its also says theres an error with composite and composite4?
Sealon
The OptiFine 1.12.2 Version does not offer all needed functions, so this is not within his hands. If OptiFine implements all funtions within 1.12.2, this version will work. If I could help, I would be happy about a like :)
Freud
When is he gonna make this compatible with 1.12.2 forge?
Matthew Morris
Can actually run on the 970 you dont need alot of power
Freud
I cant fix it
Freud
Yea this happend to me
Ricco
Did you install OptiFine correctly?
Ricco
Use OptiFine without forge. When you downloaded OptiFine, open the OptiFine jar file and it should open the OptiFine installer. And then you can use OptiFine without the use of forge on 1.14.X. And yes, this means you can't use it with forge mods.
Brody Moore
I just became a patron, i downloaded this and my whole screen is just rainbow and i can a faint image of a bunch of items like swords and such, to the point i cant even play it. Not sure how to fix this
Philippe Heroux
If I want to run it with SEUS PTGI E8 then OptiFine doesn't work with Forge 14.3. Can I still use your shader?
Judah MacNeely
Im in 1.14, and there are no grass or tree animations.
Jose XI Silva
im in 1.13 and i intalled the shader but the trees nor the grass are doing the moving animation
WildFyr
So I was looking around on a build that I have an noticed that redstone lamps that are powered off still let off light, even after turning off Dynamic Lights it still seamed to light up... anyone know a fix or is this supposed to be like that?
Joshua Stubbles
So I have the latest Optifine installed, and this latest PTGI E8. I've set all the graphic settings mentioned in the post, but I'm experiencing some issues that others don't seem to be having, who are using the same texturepack & shaders. For one, none of my weather particles seem to work, even though they are set to on/full. No rain, no snow. Other particles like rain splashes, fire and smoke all work. Another is very bad flickering with nametags. It will flicker black, like the geometry is z-fighting with itself. And lastly, I'm seeing issues with reflectivity and wetness. I'll see some random blocks that look like they have water on them, when they don't. Likewise some things like water seen through glass, look different than my friend sees. Again, I have the same texture resource pack and this same PTGI E8 update this friend, who does not experience these issues.
Joshua Stubbles
I have the same issue. Weather effects seem to not be rendering for me. Rain/Snow don't show up. Water splash particles work, so does smoke.
Elijah Ortiz
GTX 40000 obviously...
janett
wat graphics card do u gotta have for this one???
Shape Squish
Rain drops are invisible
Donk
All bodies of stagnant/flowing water appear to be grey and don't reflect any light. Any idea as to whats up? Great shader pack though <333
Jo Bu
If you don't have a texture pack that supports mirror effect then you won't get mirror effect. try free demo pack from here https://www.patreon.com/Rudy102/posts

I am getting strange reflections on vanilla blocks with the default resource pack on SEUS PTGI: https://imgur.com/a/TRBTjsG Does anyone have a fix for this issue or also have this issue?

Pickle Mike
Hi, I must have done something wrong, but the ray tracing part doesn't seem to work for me nor the lighting work, the only light that seems to be working is the new redstone block and lapis block and the dynamic lighting. Please help me, this shader seems really cool and Ill really like to try it for myself
Dirt Ip
It doesn't use RT cores.
ronaldo duran
So do you actually use RT cores? man Im lagging and I have RTX 2070.
someone probably already said this but with this mod, amd GPUs are currently unable to perform the math needed to run the custom pack. it sucks but he is still trying to find a way for it to run on AMD so just try and be patient
Jordan Bennett
looks amazing! End rods still go dark when I get close. Is that supposed to happen?
Charlie the Unicum
Hey, just joined and wanted to let you know that it appears that this release does not support connected textures; and both Seus v11 and Seus Renewed 1.0.0 do support them but they flicker as if they're wet. Love the work you're doing, keep it up!
Linkie
So out of nowhere I am now able to run this with a AMD card. Did Mojang make changes? Did the Optifine Dev? What happened? last version I had ( E6 ) wouldn't work for crap.

Sry to say this but when i Start my Minecraft and install the Shader, there's a bunch of Icon all over my Screen. there's all the blocks in the game and on the right side thers only black screen. i wonder why? -Fre125ddy
admin-liu
Why not use amd's GPU? There are many players in China who sponsor it, but it's a headache that we can't use it.
Ethan Tait
dumb question, how do I enable pom andspecular on this pack? kinda new to this version.
James Stratton
Hi sonic, I had a quick question for you! I was wondering how i could edit the POM of your pack? because while using the realistico pack the blocks are slightly textured, they are not as bummpy (i guess is what i can call it) as id like them to. Thanks!
Ben Cav
incredible job as always. I hope you continue to polish and improve this shader. I noticed that when underwater the sky is black. I wonder if that can be fixed? One other thing. This isn't a bug but more of a idea/thought. Water is very difficult to see when it is by itself in a cave or some kind of base display. This isn't an issue when the water is stationary (it looks quite nice having clear pools of water), however, it can be pretty weird when the water is flowing. I wonder if you can implement a way to give water more colour/appearance if it is in fact flowing. perhaps, the closer the water block gets to the final 'flow level' the more frothy it can get. And this can be the same for water flowing straight down? Just an idea. Your work is amazing.
Miranda
Although the caustics are obviously tiled, it kinda fits with the aesthetic of the game. Everything else in the game is tiled. It just kinda logically fits. In any case, this compromise is definitely worth it for getting this effect back into the game.
Hector Benavidez
Hi! just downloaded this shader pack and it looks amazing!! for some reason torches i place down do not produce light. If im holding it, it works just fine, but if i place it and switch to different item, everything goes dark, but i can still see the torch. It's as if the torch is lit up, but the light isn't being reflected by anything else. any ideas of how to fix?
The Basskitty
Hey friend absolutely adore this work. When I'm underwater and I look up, there is a black circle constantly over my head thst blocks the view of the world immediately above. It kinda looks like perhaps the player's head is being reflected back on the underside of the water surface, as I see fish reflected on the "ceiling" when underwater. I'm not sure if this is really the source of the big black circle or not. However maybe you could turn off reflecting the player model underwater so we can look straight up and see the world above. Thanks again for your amazing work ❤️❤️❤️
KGB_Thanatos
Love the work that's been put into this. It makes MC look outstanding on my wife's laptop. I'm just praying for AMD support soon, as my PC is all AMD.
Thomas Caputi
there is a bug when you look at a body of water, the blocks of land under the trees reflect the waves. Also, with the option "specular texture smoothness as roughness", you should tell the game which blocks can reflect something or not because the leaves of the trees reflect the landscape when this option is activated. Otherwise it is a remarkable job.
Matthew
can you make it so this works on amd
Ro
hello there I saw a video by logdotzip today on ur pack and I really liked it but I downloaded it without realizing that it would not work on mac, which is the device I use and I was wondering If I could please have a refund Thanks! just msg me back if u . can or cant
Steelorse
Do you think it would be possible to add an option to increase the AO? I think it is sorely lacking between the blocks! It would add a lot of volume. It's just missing for me. Continue your great work.
John O'Shirley
Yeah I noticed that. I watched a video and their blocks didn't look like mine. It maybe a change for this new version?
Hector Gonzalez
Is anyone else's blocks not being reflective like the iron block? My diamond block is the only one that's reflective
Jtheme
I know I shouldn't hold my breath, but I sure hope optifine gets an update so I can use this on 1.12
Brendan Kieren Mark Matthys
I found a potential bug where when reflecting sea lanterns in glass or whatever, the texture bounces back all wrong with the texture resolution set to anything higher than 16
Gunny
Just downloaded for the first time and I'm impressed. I have noticed a few things though, End rods don't illuminate at all (which is kinda disappointing because they're my favorite light source) nor do Sea Pickles. Also the smoke from campfires doesn't seem to illuminate properly, appearing very bright at night. awesome work overall though, totally worth it.
Justin Setzer
have not looked too much into the details but I have some ideas for further improvement, like surface reflection when it rains on the sides of the blocks and not just on top. I'll get back when I notice something up. Running on 1.14.3 and most of the issues I've had while playing such as dynamic lighting and new light sources to the game, even though it is not patched for 1.14.3, have been resolved.
Jigen Daisuke
I also have the black sky / water surface when looking up.
Kyle beights
i see every block texture overlaying my screen
John O'Shirley
I have the same issue but I don't know if thats for everyone or just us. I have vanilla normals 1.13, optifine 1.14
John O'Shirley
When I'm under water, the sky is black. Is that normal?
Phoenix Nemo
Thank you for your wonderful works. It will be great if next release calculates all light sources correctly, like end rod and beacon.
Christian Ortiz
is there ever going to be support for texture packs such as realistico with the paralax?
EmeraldCrafts
I have a suggestion: depth-based brightness. I swam down to the bottom of a ravine, and it was still bright as if I was near the surface. Just a little suggestion for realism
SlayerDan216
Plus the water is fantastic :-)
SlayerDan216
omg, great update! thank you for adding the lighting with a torch or other light source in your hand. Much appreciated. Looks like End rods and flaming arrows still need it. :-) The end also shows a blue sky, not sure if there is a work around for that. My dude, keep up the great work! I will support ya as much as I can.
Nick
For some reason my minecraft is refusing to utilize my graphics card and is using intel HD graphics, are any other people experiencing this issue? I thought it was due to the shader but i think optifine might be causing it and i already added javaw to the nvidia control panel.
Chris James
did u ever fix this Problem, im having it too
Hank Bob
Every time I hover over options the game immediately crashes.
Branden Marik
My entire screen is covered by all the items in the game. Just the 2d displays from them as if I have a menu open. Only happens when I turn on this shader but not ptgi 7
Joseph Behler
For some reason, the End Rod doesn't emit light unless I'm far away. Is this a bug that still needs worked out, or is it me? If it is me, does anyone know how to fix it?
Sushi
This made my day :D
Eli Kaituri
literally starting a new MC playthrough and thought to check if there was a new version. Amazing stuff!

Sebastian Stilou
where can I find a tutorial on how to install the shader pack?
Wergus Bergus
Okay, I love this update, but there's just one problem. Whenever i'm underwater, I look up and see this huge black void above me. Is that normal? If not, does anybody know how I could fix it?
Joe Groocock
Holy crap, this is so cool! Thanks for the update :D There is so much glass in our world that still renders completely broken, but when that is fixed I think I'll start to use SEUS again full time!
Rubedo Alaberti
There's a shader setting that you can turn that off.
hexsorcerer
Thanks for all the work on this release! Very much looking forward to testing the new dynamic lighting, hoping it will help ease the difficulty of being able to see clearly when branch mining.
Ricktor_Black
holy crap, the water changes are amazing! the lighting is gorgeous! Excellent job. For some reason textures of objects seen through water are all mixed up though... when I go under water and look up, the textures are jumbled up images of different textures (like objects which are not even in the scene - like grass blocks look like dispensers etc). But it's still all gorgeous.. and Minecraft is currently one of the prettiest games I own right now (strangely).
EmeraldCrafts
Just a quick suggestion for your next version: have colored shadows also change the color of raytraced light, like having glowstone covered by glass in a dark environment doesn't change the color.
EmeraldCrafts
The "Dynamic Lighting Option" is Optifine, not his shaders. SEUS disables all normal Minecraft lighting. You have to go into shader options and turn on "Dynamic Held Light"
KayzerG
I cant get iron blocks to reflect light using the vanilla normals renewed can you help please? I even have fully raytraced reflections on and the resolution is on 16 aswell
KayzerG
Server or what
Nuwkz
thank you <3
Serephucus
I'm loving the underwater changes. It's a fantastic improvement over the old system, and 1.14 support is excellent! Not to be that guy (always asking for something else), but: Do you have any idea if/when AMD compatibility might be a thing? Looking at AMD's new 5700 series, but MC is one of my main games, so don't want to lose compatibility. Should I just bite the bullet and stay NVIDIA?
Hyerin
Hi, I just have a question. My torch is not luminous in my hand even I set dynamic lighting to fast or fancy when using your shaders (inclusing seus ptgi 6, 7) but works find without shader or with other shaders like continuum 2.0.2. Is there any way to fix this problem?
Hyerin
Hi, I just have a question. My torch is not emmiting light in my hand even though I set "dynamic lighting" to fast or fancy when using your shader but it works when using other shaders or without shader. Is there a way to fix this?
Sebsty
Little thing that annoys me. The redstone lamp emmits light even though its not powered and if it is the difference is very minor
Bacorn
Hey guys, what resource packs supporting normal and specular maps (preferably vanilla style) do you recommend for 1.14? I tried Vanilla PBR but I don't quite like the look.
DogePower
yo who wants to play this with me
Nick Spiropoulos
I typically only support independent progressive news media outlets. It’s time to support indie devs now too. I work in film post production and am aware of the benefits of physical renders for realism. As long as I can also pay my mortgage, I’ll be here, SE.
