TESTED: APPLESKIN 3.0.10, HELION 0.1, ARKEA 0.1

Works. No crash and no visual problems found.

Tested 2026-10-10 by the team: each one alone with Helion 0.1 and Arkea 0.1 on Minecraft 26.3 NeoForge (title screen, options, Mods screen, new world, Arkea and Helion settings).

Works with issues
TESTED: COMPLEMENTARY REIMAGINED R5.9.3 WITH IRIS 1.11.7, HELION 0.1, ARKEA 0.1

Runs through Iris, so Helion turns itself off. No crash; the automatic test could not confirm the pack itself switched on.

Not compatible
TESTED: DISTANT HORIZONS 3.3.4, HELION 0.1, ARKEA 0.1

Helion needs Arkea, and Arkea 0.1 crashes when you open the Mods screen with Distant Horizons installed (Distant Horizons lists its authors in a way Arkea 0.1 did not expect). Fixed for the next Arkea version; until then, don't open the Mods screen while Distant Horizons is installed. How Distant Horizons' far terrain looks with Helion on is not checked yet.
