How to drop shadow behind objects

How can I make a shader where an object has a drop shadow behind another object?
I would like a coloured shadow below the pill in this screenshot.

Some random options:

  • enable shadows in whatever rendering pipeline you’re using, aim light straight down

  • put some kind of shadow projector on it, and set up layers so the ball itself is unaffected

  • make a shadow card sprite, set it just above the ground and move it yourself.

I’m using a blob shadow projector with its shader having ZTest Always but it’s drawing through all objects. See the vid:

How can I have a simple blob shadow painted below an object where it’s painted behind objects and not paint multiple times?

I’ve already tried adjusting Far Clip Plane but it doesn’t work.
