Thanks! Been lurking for awhile now.
I was *really* hoping I might be able to avoid disabling systematically, just due to the work involved. All of the mods were at 1.22.x, at least, though not all had been reissued for 1.22.3. So I knew I was gambling at least a little.
I'll start with the shader though. I thought I had seen some comments from at least mod that I was evaluating, complaining about how it added an unrelated nightvision feature, but when I went looking I couldn't find it again. Just found someone else complaining about temporal stability not being referenced correctly on the Vintage Shaders mod. Thanks!
