As a result, some of the packs have disabled many features, rewritten algorithms, the range of processing algorithms, or even replaced heavy scripts with lighter ones. This was done due to numerous tests on different computers (Or mobile devices if there is a Bedrock-Pocked Edition version of shaders). But the authors did everything possible so that players with any power of video cards could try their options. Accordingly, the higher these indicators, the wider the range of available shaders you can afford.

What options should I choose?įirst of all, the choice will depend on the performance of your video card and the amount of RAM. This means that most video cards are based on this programming language, that is, the scripts contain algorithms for which the video card outputs the desired modified image, for example, we call this additional physics, namely: the behavior of light particles, the effect of shadows and wind, antialiasing, reflections, as well as hundreds of other little-noticed algorithms that turn ordinary blocks into a very smooth space containing many features from the real world. What does a shader pack consist of?īasically, it contains libraries and working scripts based on GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), which have been developed since the distant 2004. The percentage compression is specified directly in the scripts, so if the shaders have several versions, for example, lite, medium, heavy, and super realistic, they practically do not change in the file size. In any case, for this to work correctly, the player will need to install Optifine HD, which has a huge set of core tools for processing, optimizing and smoothing the effects of rendering compression.

This means that they can be integrated directly into the pack or installed separately. Shaders are additional scripts that can improve the graphics of the game world to a more realistic level, or simply add more microparticles for a certain 1.20.1-1.19.4 texture pack.
