Hi everyone! I am proud to announce a mod that I have been working on for more than 2 months: Colorwheel.

Colorwheel is a mod for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 that makes Flywheel and Iris compatible. This means that you can play with Create 6 while using shaders and still have good performance! This mod is similar to Iris Flywheel Compat.

On my Steam Deck when rendering +1k waterwheels with BSL Low:

  • Flywheel OFF: 2 fps
  • Create Better FPS: 5 fps
  • Colorwheel: 50 fps

The mod requires patched shaderpacks, currently I made patches for:

  • Bliss-git
  • BSL 10.0
  • Complementary 5.5.1
  • Euphoria Patches 5.5.1 + 1.6.3

The mod and the patches are available on CurseForge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/colorwheel
The project has already been submitted to Modrinth, but it is currently being reviewed: https://modrinth.com/mod/colorwheel
The source code and the releases are available on GitHub: https://github.com/djefrey/Colorwheel/releases

The mod is also making Vanillin compatible. It is made by the Flywheel devs, and it greatly improves the performance of block entity rendering such as chests: https://modrinth.com/mod/flw-vanillin
