RITEG-VHS

This shaderpack is a post-processing port of a VHS filter pipeline I initially developed for my shader sandbox software [RITEG](https://untodesu.github.io/riteg); this shaderpack specifically includes the following effects:
– Attempt to force the image into lower dynamic range with non-linear color curves
– YIQ bleeding (not really made by me, see attribution)
– Luminance and chrominance noise

Attribution:
– The shaderpack itself is based on [Base-Shader by Bestsoft101](https://github.com/Bestsoft101/Base-Shader)
– The original pipeline and this port loosely base its VHS mangling on [VHS compression shader](https://www.shadertoy.com/view/tsfXWj)

Reverie

Reverie is a minecraft shader with a semi-realistic, dreamy style. It features a physically based atmosphere and advanced indirect lighting techniques.

Support for both **Distant Horizons** and **Voxy** is available, with more mods coming in the future.

### Dynamic weather system
Weather elements such as cloud cover, fog, and wind direction adapt dynamically based on biome, season, and altitude. Still, having every location always look the same would feel repetitive. To keep things fresh, these parameters are slightly randomized every time the shader loads, so each day looks unique, much like in the real world!

### Powerful & Customizable
Reverie has a streamlined customization system. Most light colors are customizable (with more to come). If you’re performance constrained, then rest assured. Set the profile to ‘Toaster’ and enjoy good performance (60fps on my laptop’s integrated graphics) with minimal visual compromises.

### Beautiful screenshots
The built-in screenshot mode freezes the weather, so you can get your shots lined up just right! Enable cinematic effects like depth of field, lens flare or chromatic aberration, to get the vibe you want exactly. Reverie also has advanced color balancing options, as well as several tonemappers to choose from.

### Requirements
– Iris 1.8 or higher.
– Minecraft 1.21+ (older versions might work)

### Hardware compatibility
– Nvidia: works
– AMD (windows): works
– Intel (windows): unkown
– Mesa: works
– Mac: broken, and cannot be fixed

### Issue reporting
If you’re running into problems, head over to [GitHub](https://github.com/thecmk/reverie-shader) and report them.

Retrofy

Retrofy is a shader i made to capture some of the retro feel. The shader is easy to run, and works for multiple versions. This is one of my first shades i made, so don’t expect to much. This is practice for me to shaders in general, to make a 3d engine using OpenGL and C++. 🙂

Rethinking Voxels

# Rethinking Voxels

This shader is an edit of [Complementary Reimagined](https://www.complementary.dev/reimagined) that aims to be decently fast (when compared to path tracing shaders) while having block lights cast sharp shadows.

### Notes

The lighting system is not perfect. Occasional sudden brightness changes are a side-effect of the way it works and cannot be completely removed without hurting performance or removing sharp shadows from light sources. To do the latter, disable `Per-Pixel Lighting` in the `Rethinking Voxels Settings`.

This shader is developed on Iris, using an AMD graphics card on linux, and it is also tested on an NVidia graphics card on linux. While it usually works on other platforms, bugs that appear only there are not caught by my testing and hence they take longer to fix. To use this shader pack, the Iris shader loader is required. Beta 18d and older versions also work on OptiFine.

### Contact

If you need support, please join the [shaderLabs discord server](https://discord.gg/8wT5KxF4TZ), where this shader has a channel (#rethinking-voxels-gri573).

### Partnership

I have entered a partnership with Ember, a Minecraft server hosting provider. This is because Ember hosts the complementary SMP server and has provided a better hosting experience / customer support than the previous hosting service, and because they reached out asking about it. If you need to host a Minecraft server and wish to support Rethinking Voxels’ development at the same time, do check them out! Using the promotional code `RETHINKING` in a first-time purchase will redirect 70% of the first month’s fee to me as well as give you a 10% discount.

Resident Craft

# Resident-Craft

A dark horror-inspired Minecraft shader pack built for a cold, cinematic, Resident Evil-style atmosphere.

## Overview

Resident-Craft is a custom shader project focused on tension, mood, and visibility control. It uses heavy fog, deep shadows, strong color grading, wet surface shading, and a flashlight-style lighting effect to create a tense survival-horror look.

## Features

* Heavy atmospheric fog
* Horror-style blue/teal color grading
* Strong contrast and darkness outside the light beam
* Flashlight-inspired lighting effect
* Fog-aware lighting so distant scenery fades naturally
* Wet and damp surface tinting
* Floating spores / dust-style particles
* Film grain and vignette for a cinematic look

## Best Experience

Resident-Craft is designed for:

* Dark forest environments
* Swamps, ruins, and abandoned structures
* Horror maps and adventure worlds
* Night scenes and low-light gameplay

## Recommended Settings

For the intended look, use:

* Dark or night scenes
* Low to medium render distance
* Fog enabled
* Bloom or extra post-processing kept minimal if possible
* A resource pack with muted colors if you want a stronger horror tone

## Compatibility

Compatible with:

* Iris

## Performance

The shader is designed to stay lightweight enough for lower-end systems while still producing a strong visual effect. Performance may vary depending on:

* Render distance
* Scene complexity
* Particle density
* Shader loader and GPU

RenderPearl

# Modern, lightweight shaders for Iris


RenderPearl is an incredibly lightweight shader pack using the latest Iris features and optional extensions on various graphics drivers, aiming to deliver pleasant visuals with excellent performance on modern hardware.

If you want to report a bug or give feedback/suggestions, the best way to do so is by opening an issue on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/issues). I rely heavily on user feedback in bug fixing and design.

## Features

* Smooth, colored real-time shadows and volumetric light using distorted shadow mapping.
* Colored block light with physically based reflections using a light list combined with vanilla lighting and average texture color.
* Ray traced, per-hand hand light.
* A wide range of highly optimized post-processing effects, including compute shader implementations of [FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening](https://gpuopen.com/fidelityfx-cas/), [SMAA](https://www.iryoku.com/smaa/) 1x from [SMAA-MC](https://modrinth.com/shader/smaa-mc), automatic exposure and a variety of tone mapping operators.
* Customizable waves and water opacity.
* Built-in utility features such as light level visualization and a compass overlay.

## Mod & Resource Pack Compatibility

Most built-in PBR information, including light colors, material normals and roughness, are almost entirely procedurally generated and should therefore work perfectly with most resource packs and mods.

Integration with Distant Horizons and Voxy is supported on the latest Minecraft version, but experimental and very basic. Complete support is planned for a future update.

Support for mods that modify the Iris shader pipeline, such as Chunks Fade In, is experimental and may have issues, such as the shader pack failing to compile.

## Requirements

> If you have a decently modern non-macOS device it probably supports everything you need, but you might have to update your Iris and graphics drivers.

* **Iris** with support for features:
* `BLOCK_EMISSION_ATTRIBUTE`
* `COMPUTE_SHADERS`
* `CUSTOM_IMAGES`
* `ENTITY_TRANSLUCENT`
* `PER_BUFFER_BLENDING`
* `SEPARATE_HARDWARE_SAMPLERS`
* `SSBO`
* **Graphics drivers** with support for **GLSL 4.60.8+**.
* **Minecraft** of a version that is listed as supported by the RenderPearl release. The latest supported version is usually the most stable.

## Tuning & The Compatibility Menu

The default configuration and all values selectable with profiles are intended to work on all systems that meet the shader pack’s **Requirements**, though you may be able to achieve higher performance and quality by changing some of these options. Beware that some values may cause the shader pack to not compile, in which case you simply have to reset the option. These are usually marked with a red ⚠.

## Design & Modding RenderPearl

RenderPearl’s source code is intended to be modifiable and re-usable. It’s written according to best practice to the best of my ability, but prioritizing performance over readability. If you have any questions about how it works, feel free to contact me on any platform.

Technical information can be found in [the GitHub repository](https://github.com/Luracasmus/renderpearl/blob/main/DEV.md).
