Vanilish Shaders



## **Vanilish Shaders**

Vanilish Shaders are lightweight shaders designed to bring a realistic atmosphere to the Minecraft world while maintaining the classic vanilla feel. These shaders provide soft lighting, natural water reflections, and warm sky and world colors.

With a balance between visual quality and efficiency, Vanilish Shaders are suitable for a wide range of devices — from low-end to high-end PCs. They deliver a more vibrant gameplay experience while preserving Minecraft’s signature look.

This shader is a modification of MakeUp Ultra Fast Shaders, with improvements in color, lighting, and atmospheric effects to achieve a more natural and immersive appearance.

Tricked Shaders

## What are Luminary Shaders?
Based on [Mellow Shader](https://modrinth.com/shader/mellow)

Tricked Shaders enhance the visuals of Minecraft while maintaining a respectable level of performance (at least for me) and staying true to the original aesthetic. It focuses on refining what is already there rather than attempting to make Minecraft a hyper-realistic experience.

In contrast to the original Mellow Shader, my version reduces overall brightness without compromising color or clarity, giving the game a deeper, more atmospheric appearance. In every lighting scenario, the end, nether, and overworld all feel more balanced, richer, and immersive. All settings are customizable, but profiles are gone as to not ruin the settings.

# Original Description
### 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.)
– Easily adjustable colors
### Compatibility
– At the moment only versios 1.17 and up are being tested. Earlier versions may or may not work.
– Modern Nvidia, AMD and Intel gpus are supported on both Windows and Linux. Macs may or may not work.
– Please use the latest Iris version (any version that supports custom uniforms should work). Optifine has some small bugs, but it should also mostly work.

Tilde

# ~

Tilde is a highly performant geometry shader that makes the world feel _alive_.

—

The shader **only modifies the geometry of distant terrain**¹, making it extremely lightweight. If you’re able to run Minecraft without shaders, you can run Tilde!
Comes with three presets: `Default`, `Increased Motion`, and `Reduced Motion`.

> 1. Small deviations from vanilla may be present as of this time. Modifying the terrain geometry in a shader
> like this means we have to replicate some aspects of the vanilla style ourself, such as the hand
> and cloud appearance for example. Feel free to report an issue if you find anything that looks off!

## Installation
Please note that the shader is still under development, and has only been only tested with [Iris](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris) on `1.21.4` – but it should surely work on other versions as well!

1. Make sure the mods [Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium) and [Iris](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris) are installed.
2. Inside the game, navigate to **Options 🡒 Video Settings 🡒 Shader Packs…** (or use the default shortcut `O`) and click the **Open Shader Pack Folder…** button.
3. Download the latest shaderpack [here](https://github.com/Kattjakt/tilde/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and drag the file to your newly opened shaderpack folder.
4. It should now appear in your shaderpack list in-game, so select it and click apply!

The Cursed Shaders

This shader turns the game into a cursed experience of Minecraft iris! (recommended to use sodium with iris 1.20.6) This changes mob’s position, changes particles, makes underwater more cursed and weird and wacky, this is a very funny shader pack.

Hope you enjoy!

The cursness and the weirdest, wacky shaderpack made by me!

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.

TAA Project

## About
The TAA Project is a shaderpack that enhances the visual experience while maintaining a lightweight performance profile. With a minimal performance impact of just 3-6%*, this shaderpack integrates Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) for smoother edges. _*On scene with 32 render distance._

## Features

– **Compatibility**: TAA Project is fully compatible with both OptiFine and Iris.

– **Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA)**: The core feature of this shader pack is its implementation of TAA, which effectively reduces visual artifacts such as jagged edges and shimmering. By using previous frames’ data, TAA smooths out edges and enhances the overall visual fidelity of the game.

– **Sharpening Options**: To further enhance image clarity, the TAA Project supports two types of sharpening techniques:
– **Unsharp Mask**: Leaves trails behind fast moving objects.
– **CAS (Contrast Adaptive Sharpening)**: More stable, but still has some downsides to it.

If you want to play with distant horizons:

FXAA fork (probably abandoned):

###### The TAA Project is a hard fork of VanillAA made for better performance and faster updates.
