Installation: after downloading Complementary Shaders, enable it on the shader list in-game. Then change any option from the shader options, this will make the shader create a .txt file with custom options. Now open the shaderspack folder and there should be a .txt file with the same name of the shader. Close the game, open the .txt file and replace the text inside with any of those above depending or your PC specs. If you used before the same shader with your own settings, you should first make a backup before replacing them

After the installation of the shader and their settings, I recommend using the Shader Fixer add-on for Smoube to fix some issues with the textures on emissive blocks (amethyst buds, redstone torch, etc.) because this can not be solved by the shader itself. This is an add-on and can be enabled or disabled at any time because is just a texture pack

While the time passes, I will be updating those settings to make Smoube looks better with this shader, so I would recommend to you to stay tuned on my Discord server to get notified when I update those files
