This shader aims to overhaul the graphics while making it feel like nothing has changed. It&#8217;s the same style as vanilla minecraft but built for my own preferences, which are:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Beautiful and Pleasant<br \/>\n&#8211; Unobtrusive<br \/>\n&#8211; Sharp AA<br \/>\n&#8211; Gameplay-Oriented<br \/>\n&#8211; Interesting and Exciting<br \/>\n&#8211; Performant<\/p>\n<p>### Supports Voxy, Distant Horizons, Colorwheel, and more!<\/p>\n<p>### Note: Optifine is only partially supported. If you think it should be more supported, you can always let me know<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>## How to install:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 1: Install either Fabulously Optimized (full modpack, preferred) or Iris\/Occulus (single mod, can be added anywhere)<br \/>\n&#8211; 2: Download the latest version of this shader<br \/>\n  &#8211; (If you want to see the values used by each style, you can download a style-specific version)<br \/>\n&#8211; 3: Launch minecraft, go to the shaderpacks menu, and click the &#8216;Open Shader Packs Folder&#8217; button<br \/>\n&#8211; 4: Put the downloaded shader zip into the shaderpacks folder<br \/>\n&#8211; 5: Select the shader within the shaderpacks menu<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>## Performance Comparisons:<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how trustworthy these results are, but it should give you a rough idea of the performance between shaders. Also, you can compare your graphics card to mine here.
