Chippa256 shader

Very basic but effective shader that applies dithering and other vintage screen effects to make the iconic low-res look and feel of Minecraft seem even more low-res!

There isn’t much to say about this shader for now.

Mellow

### Features
– Broad mod compatiblity: Distant Horizons, Voxy, Colorwheel etc.
– Several preset color schemes
– Extensive & customizable fog system
– Multiple styles of clouds
– Lightmap or shadowmap based shadows
– Extensive olor grading (saturation, exposure, color balancing tool etc.)

MCPT

**What is MCPT?**

MCPT is a Minecraft shader meant for taking high quality, photorealistic screenshots. It is a brute-force spectral volumetric path tracer that makes use of hardware raytracing through Vulkanite. These shaders are not meant for gameplay as they require you to stand still and wait for the image to render.

**Features**
– Spectral Rendering
– Volumetric Path Tracing
– Atmosphere Simulation
– Water Parallax Mapping
– Refractive/Reflective Caustics
– Path Traced Anti-Aliasing
– Path Traced DoF
– Full Lens System Simulation
– Bloom
– Configurable settings for all of the above.

### _**WARNING**_

MCPT requires Vulkanite, which is currently in a very unstable and buggy state, so there is no gaurantee that these shaders will work on your system (specifically AMD cards). For the best chances of getting these shaders to run, **follow these requirements exactly:**

**Requirements**

– A hardware raytracing capable GPU
– Minecraft 1.20.1
– [Sodium 0.5.2](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium/version/mc1.20.1-0.5.2)
– [Iris 1.6.8](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris/version/1.6.8+1.20.1)
– [Vulkanite 0.0.3 pre-alpha](https://modrinth.com/mod/vulkanite-mod/version/0.0.3-pre-alpha)
– A LabPBR resourcepack that supports Minecraft 1.20.1 or later (I use AVPBR Retextured R5).

### **IMPORTANT: restart the game whenever you change resourcepacks or the textures will appear glitched (Vulkanite bug).**

### **IMPORTANT: If your game crashes on startup, try adding this to your launch arguments: `-Dorg.lwjgl.system.stackSize=8192`**

**How to Use**

Press F1 to begin a render, and F2 to take a screenshot.

**Feedback**

As Vulkanite is very unstable, you’ll find a lot of bugs in the shader. There’s a 99% chance that a bug you find is due to Vulkanite and not the shaders. For reporting non-Vulkanite issues and requesting features, feel free to DM me on discord: johnpayne.

MakeUp – Ultra Fast


# MakeUp Ultra Fast

**MakeUp** aims to provide the best quality / performance ratio, building a shader that can be adapted to anyone’s resources. Build the shader you want! All the effects are optional!, and you will only consume the resources that you need.

**¡Compatible with Optifine and Iris!**

## Optional features:

* Shadows
* Optional volumetric clouds
* Antialiasing (TAA)
* Depth of field
* Enhanced ambient occlusion
* Water reflection and refraction
* Motion blur
* Optional bloom
* Optional chromatic aberration
* Auto-exposure
* Shader for all native dimensions
* FAST!
* And more…

## Tested on

* Minecraft 1.12.+ – 1.21.x
* Nvidia, Intel, AMD (It’s not guaranteed to work on each and every existing model)
* Windows and Linux

## You can

* You can use the shader without restrictions.
* You can fork the shader from: [https://github.com/javiergcim/MakeUpUltraFast](https://github.com/javiergcim/MakeUpUltraFast)
* You can modify this shader for any purpose.
* If you modify or use the shader PLEASE add a credit.

## Color schemes

It can be boring that everything looks the same all the time. Choose a color scheme according to your tastes and change it whenever you want.

## Recommendations

Leave Optifine’s native shader options at their default values, otherwise you may see shader quality reduced. Customize using only the options of the shader itself.

Shadows and depth of field are resource-intensive effects. You can remove them if you need more performance, and it will still look great.

If you think this work deserves a small stipend, please donate! I will be eternally grateful to you:
