Sinus Shader – Sine Wave

### Sinus Shader is a Minecraft Optifine/Iris Shader that makes the game render in a Sine Wave.

![Sheep](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/TgFPh5Pe/images/4cd5836cc17c55a20fabf324851ba61163c360fd.png)

It is an interesting distortion effect and I like sine waves. The effect is customizable, you can set the direction from horizontal(0 in V1 | 1, 2 in V2) to vertical(1 in V1 | 3, 4 in V2), the frequency and the height(amplitude).

![V2](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/TgFPh5Pe/images/4ac788d0a567fcaf697bbab6eeb7fe16c4244402.png)

Version 2 also features customizable movement(left to right, right to left, top to bottom, bottom to top) and the option to only apply the effect if you are under water.

This Shader is completely useless and has no reason to exist, but you can use it anyways. Maybe it could be an interesting challenge, or something, idk. Have fun with the Shader and the motion sickness it causes.

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

RedHat Shaders

– About

RedHat is a shaderpack that for Iris and Optifine.
It is an edit of an old version of Chocapic13, and has many features.

RedHat’s main features are lighting effects such as Godrays (3D, or 2D, if you have a low-end machine), Shadows, Underwater Light Absorption, and many more.

The shaderpack features reflections too, and reflects some light on all surfaces, to make everything look more similar to the Minecraft trailers style.

There are many cinematic options such as Lens Flares, Depth of Field (Chromatic Aberration included), Grain, Tilt Shift, and others.

The colors, which change depending on the time, make everything more realistic yet they keep the fantasy vibe.

There are many effects related to movement as well. All foliage or hanging things such as lanterns wave. Along those there are Waving Hand and Waving Camera options too, configurable as well.

If that wasn’t enough, RedHat supports all versions from 1.7.10 up to 1.21, and it supports custom skyboxes!

Lastly, there are many atmospherics effects such as Fog and Clouds, Round moon and sun, and other things like PBR support, Auto-Exposure, Stars, and many, many other things.

There are a lot of ways you can customize the shaderpack, and make it look like the way you want.

– Requirements

GPU: Must support OpenGL 3.2 and have at least 1GB of VRAM. AMD, NVIDIA and Intel are all supported (You’ll have to decrease some settings to play smoothly with Intel GPUs).

CPU: Must have a minimum clock speed of 1GHz

RAM: Must have located at least 1.5-2GB of RAM to your game

OS: Windows (7,8, 8.1, 10, 11), Linux (Mesa drivers might lead to issues)

Shadermod: Optifine or Iris

MC Version: 1.7.10, up to 1.21

> Light Settings Recommendation: i3/i5 3-4th Gen, 4GB DDR3 RAM, GT 1030 2GB GDDR5
> Balanced Settings Recommendation: i5/i7 8-9th Gen, 8GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5
> Heavy Settings Recommendation: i5/i7/i9 10th+ Gen, 16GB DDR5 RAM, GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6

If you use RedHat without meeting these requirements, then keep in mind you’ll take a risk.
RedHat is a pretty heavy shaderpack, thus do not expect it to be FPS friendly on the default settings.

Raincore

The rain never stopped in 1998.

[![GitHub Stars](https://img.shields.io/github/stars/myueqf/Raincore?style=for-the-badge&logo=github&color=4E737E&labelColor=334A51)](https://github.com/myueqf/Raincore/stargazers)

#### About：
Raincore is a shader pack that captures the petrichor scent of moist earth after the rain, featuring distinct pixelated effects and grain/lo-fi.
This is my fifth shader pack, built upon my previous work, [Lantern](https://modrinth.com/shader/lantern-shader). I hope you enjoy it! (^-^)

#### Performance：
No high-end hardware is required; integrated graphics are sufficient for a smooth experience.
For the best visual balance, a render distance of 8 chunks is recommended. While you can go lower, it is best kept between 8 to 11 chunks.

#### FAQ：
– **Q**: Can I include this shader in my Modpack?
– **A**: Distributing this shader as part of a modpack without modifying its source code is not considered creating a derivative work. Other components of the modpack are not bound by the GPLv3 license.
