Wispy Shader
# Wispy Shaders V1.4
A performance-optimized shader pack initially based on Mellow Shaders and outperforms many other so claimed ‘potato’ shaders. Works on all major versions
## Credits
* **Original Shader**: [Mellow Shaders](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/mellow) by [TheCMK](https://www.curseforge.com/members/thecmk/)
* **Performance Optimizations**: [l_aggy](https://www.curseforge.com/members/l_aggy/projects)
## Features
(All information and statistics is based on V1.3)
* **Ultra-optimized** for integrated graphics (iGPUs)
* **40%+** improvement on Balanced compared to MakeUp-Ultrafast with all effects off
* **Color grading** and biome‑specific lighting for all dimensions.
* **Cinematic post‑processing**: bloom, sharpening, tonemapping, TAA, motion blur, film grain, vignette.
## To-do
1. More benchmarking
2. Adding features (Can’t really optimize more)
3. Bugfix some features
## Performance Profiles
* iGPU (8 Chunks) tested on i5-4570 (HD4600) on CachyOS
* dGPU (24 Chunks) tested on R9 8940HX (5060 Laptop=4060 desktop) on Windows 11
* Choose a profile in shader settings that matches your hardware:
| Profile |FPS (iGPU) |FPS (dGPU) |Description |
| —————– |———- |———- |—————————- |
| ULTRA_PERFORMANCE |190+ |440+ |Maximum FPS, minimal effects |
| PERFORMANCE |190+ |?? |Good balance for iGPU |
| BALANCED |180+ |?? |A mix of features |
| QUALITY |120+ |?? |More effects |
| ULTRA_QUALITY |120+ |380+ |Lowest FPS, All features |

UShader
[](https://youtu.be/XPqMHXbSd4M)
## **What is the UShader?**
This shaderpack is a recreation of a modified version of SEUS v10.1 I used privately for a long time. Took me a while to match some of the unique looks the SEUS version had but I eventually figured it out.
Please note that this pack does **not** perform better than SEUS v10.1 with the default settings due to many new effects that didn’t exist in that version, like volumetric clouds and fog. With the correct settings however it is able to outperform it by a lot while producing much better visuals.
It is also important to note that this pack does **not** use any code from SEUS v10.1.
## **What features does it offer?**
* atmospheric sky
* volumetric fog
* volumetric clouds
* dynamic shadows
* soft shadows
* screen-space raytraced ambient occlusion (RTAO)
* water volume
* dimension support
* wind effects
* temporal anti-aliasing and upscaling (TAAU)
* motionblur
* bloom
## **Any Requirements?**
* Optifine for 1.16 or newer/Iris 1.5.0 or newer
* GTX 1050/RX 560 or similar/better (has to support OpenGL 4.0)
* something faster is generally recommended though
* Windows/Linux
* **DUE TO REPEATED ISSUE-REPORTS: Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!**

Tachyon Shaders
Tachyon is a highly customizable shader, with HDR, POM, reflections, Volumetric fog and clouds, shadows, Tonemapping, AO, and many other features. It’s optimized to be incredibly fast, often getting higher fps than even light shaders like fastPBR. I designed it to be able to both be a vanilla+ style shader for those who prefer more minimalistic improvements (in this mode it is even faster), as well as a more traditional high-visuals style.
# Known Issues
– the end and nether don’t have dedicated shaders yet so they’re really broken. working on a fix but it’s gonna take a bit
# Customizability
With every feature a shader adds, there’s one more feature you may not want. So Tachyon lets you customize *everything*. You don’t like shadows? Off. You find POM distracting? Off! You can customize Tachyon from just vannilla with shadows, to a full shader with reflections, HDR, ACES tonemapping, POM, etc.
# PBR Resource Pack
This shader looks way better with a PBR resource pack, since they provide extra details like how reflective each pixel is or a depth map. My favorite one to use is [sPBR](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/spbr), as it remains 16×16 and very true to vanilla.
# PVP
This shader is fast enough and not nearly as distracting as others, so it’s actually usable in pvp, unlike many others. I know a lot of people (especially people who care about fps a ton) will not use this anyway, but I find that with high profile, visuals preset (and “nice water” under materials turned off as it makes it really hard to see shallow pools in pvp), my fps is consistently at my monitor’s max refresh rate.
# Credits
This is my first shader, and while I’d love to claim I wrote this all myself with no help, I did look at other shaders’ code for reference. Most notably:
1. [Solas Shader](https://modrinth.com/shader/solas-shader), which I based the clouds and water off of. The noise texture is a direct copy from this shader, so huge thanks to solas.
2. [XorDevs-Default-Shaderpack](https://github.com/XorDev/XorDevs-Default-Shaderpack) for a lot of the basic rendering, as it is basically a shader implementation of vanilla. Some code is very closely copied from this.
3. [Complementary Reimagined](https://modrinth.com/shader/complementary-reimagined), As I used it as a reference for screen space reflections and DH support.
4. [IterationT](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rUvHaxnHmQCG5LvOL4I8kvoDpJu53lgV/view?usp=drive_link) for some POM reference. I am aware that this shader copied a lot of shaders, but I didn’t directly copy anything from this shader either.
5. [This Youtube Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjyNVmsTBmA) for shadows and other basics for how minecraft shaders work.
Other than the noise texture from solas, and I got explicit permission from Solas’ developer for that, I didn’t actually copy anything, so it doesn’t violate any of the shaders’ licenses.
