Monophonic Shaderpack

# Description
Welcome to Monophonic! It is a shaderpack that aims for good performance and compatibility for gameplay!
(PSST, you should use this shaderpack while listening to this upcoming song, presave it its awesome and its also mine! Yes I am promoting my song… Yes I am desperate.) [Awesome Song To Listen 2 While using Monophonic](http://tunelink.to/Jub5v)

# Compatibility
It is compatible with Iris only (Optifine won’t work!!) and works well with AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, Intel iGPUs should theoretically work fine, but no intel user has tested this shaderpack yet.

**Nether and End support are limited at the moment, so don’t expect full compatibility.**

# License
For the most, I use the all rights reserved license, but I really wouldn’t recommend using my code (I did not intend it for the use of being edited). If you’d like to edit anyway, you can ask me here! https://discord.gg/6nyR6CKHbg

# Features
* Screen Space Shadows
* Saturation, Contrast & Vibrance Sliders

Mode 13h: MS-DOSify!

[](https://github.com/Hand-Lock/mode-13h/blob/main/LICENSE)

# Mode 13h: MS-DOSify!

*An **Iris** shader pack for Minecraft that recreates the look of late-90s **MS-DOS** 3D graphics with deliberate retro accuracy.*


**Mode 13h: MS-DOSify!** is not just a generic “pixelation” shader. It aims to reproduce the actual visual limitations and quirks that gave old DOS-era 3D games their unmistakable look: low resolution, affine texture warping, limited color depth, stepped lighting, billboarded sprites, and carefully tuned fog.

It has currently only been **tested on Minecraft `1.20.1`**, but it **should also work on other versions**.

> **Recommended render resolution: `1280 x 800`**
> The shader pack is designed to **downscale by 4x** to an internal **`320 x 200`** image, matching classic **Mode 13h** output.
> For the most authentic look, stretch the final image to **`4:3`** to reproduce the era’s **non-square pixels**.

## 🧾 Why This Exists

A lot of “retro” shaders stop at chunky pixels and call it a day.

**Mode 13h** goes further. It tries to recreate the specific rendering artifacts that defined old DOS-era 3D, including the quirks modern graphics usually try to hide or eliminate. The goal is not just to look old — it is to feel like an actual late-90s PC pushing textured 3D slightly beyond its comfort zone.


## ✨ Features

### 📺 Authentic low-resolution output

– The image is downscaled to a **Mode 13h-style `320 x 200`** internal resolution.
– This gives the shader pack the crunchy image structure typical of classic DOS graphics.

### 🧱 Affine texture mapping

– Textures use **affine mapping** instead of perspective-correct mapping.
– This recreates the classic **texture wobble and warping** seen in older software-rendered 3D games.

### 🎨 Retro palette reduction

– Colors are quantized to a **256-color** style output.
– An optional **`6 x 6 x 6`** palette provides a more limited **216-color** look.

### 💡 Stepped lighting

– Lighting is **quantized** into configurable brightness steps.
– Setting it to **16** steps gives something closer to vanilla Minecraft’s light progression while keeping the retro feel.

### 🌫️ Tuned fog

– Fog is adjusted to better match the mood and readability of old-school 3D visuals.
– It helps sell distance the way older games often did.

### 🪧 Billboarded sprites

– Many blocks and decorations render as **2D billboards** that always face the player.
– This mimics the sprite-based tricks commonly used in older 3D games.

## ⚙️ Configuration

The shader includes a **configuration menu** with several options so you can fine-tune the effect to your taste.

You can adjust things such as:

– **Fog tuning parameters**
– **Affine mapping parameters**
– **Color reduction mode**, including switching between **256-color** and **216-color**
– **Add-on compatibility toggles**, which can be enabled or disabled individually
– **Resolution reduction**
– And other settings for dialing in the exact retro look you want

## 🔧 Technical Notes

– Built for **Iris** and compatible with **Oculus**
– Currently only **tested with Minecraft `1.20.1`**, though it should work on other versions as well
– Targets **OpenGL `4.1`**, so it can also run on **macOS**

## 🧩 Add-ons

**Mode 13h** also has optional companion add-ons that expand the billboarding system.

> **Important:** Add-ons are **not included** with the shader pack. They must be **downloaded separately**.

### 🪧 Flatter Signs

[**Flatter Signs**](https://modrinth.com/mod/flatter-signs) is a mod that changes signs into **cross/hatch models**, allowing Mode 13h to billboard them like flowers or grass.

Without the shader pack, those signs simply render as flat cross/hatch objects. With **Mode 13h** enabled, they become proper DOS-style billboarded signs.

### 🧱 Billy-Boarding *(WIP)*

**Billy-Boarding** is a resource pack that changes the **`.json` block models** of selected blocks so they become **cross/hatch-based** and therefore compatible with the shader’s billboarding system.

If you install these add-ons, you can enable or disable their dedicated support from the **shader configuration screen**.

## 🌌 Recommended with a Stylized Sky

For the best overall presentation, it is recommended to pair **Mode 13h** with a **stylized skybox**.

At the moment, the recommended choice is [**Anime Sky**](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/anime-sky).

A bespoke skybox made specifically for **Mode 13h** may come in the future.

## ❌ What It Is Not

– Not just a simple “pixelation” filter
– Not a generic CRT-style retro effect
– Not a clean or modernized take on retro visuals

**Mode 13h** intentionally embraces visual instability, harsh quantization, and awkward old rendering tricks — because that is the whole point.

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** 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.
