**Why Do we take wikis so seriously? simple because if you go to the wrong one and get a virus we could be blamed without our shaders having any malware. we also dont want people to get viruses and let the scammers succeed so please never download from Harmful sites. we only include them so you know they are harmful if you ever download a mod or shader from them.** (the way we check is we look through the sites and if it links to modrinth for the download it automaticlly goes to trusted if it downloads from their site thats auto untrusted because we cannot tell if they added something to the file and untrusted is if the file size is smaller then our offical shaders which mejority are or if they get a harmful detection from VirusTotal.)

Wisp Shaders

# **Wisp Shaders**

Primitive shaders with **no fancy effects or PBR**, meant to make the game look good while sticking to the vanilla style.

# Features:
– Directional lighting, lightmap based
– More vibrant environment colors
– Custom clouds
– Adjustable fog
– Waving leaves
– Water foam effect
– Cloud reflections in water
– Rain puddles
# Compatibility
The shaders were developed and are intended for minecraft version **1.21.1 and up**, and Iris version **1.7 and up**, but **may** work on lower versions.

If tag support is present, the tag _**minecraft:leaves**_ will be used for waving leaves, otherwise leaves from **vanilla** and **Biomes O’ Plenty** are used.

WEM – White Entities Mask

Turns all entities completely white, allowing for overlaying screenshots later and easily masking out entities.

VTXS Screen Space Demo


The VTXS project was born to challenge the modern graphics trend of smearing everything with TAA and upscaling. The philosophy behind VTXS is that everything stays perfectly sharp, regardless of camera speed.

## Screen Space Demo
This shader introduces a lighting system developed exclusively for VTXS.

Each emissive pixel visible on screen illuminates the scene and casts shadows.
The noise level is low enough for real time gameplay without requiring denoising. However, a denoiser is still present as an optional feature.


While being a demo this shader is intended to be used for gameplay, so all features necessary for a complete and playable experience are planned.

### Implemented Features
– Screen Space Path Tracing
– Physically Based Atmosphere
– Full roughness range specular reflections
– Volumetric clouds
– Godrays
– Subsurface Scattering
– Variable penumbra shadows
– Bloom
– Eye adaptation
– Screen Space Raytraced Refraction
– GBAA Anti-aliasing

Big thanks to [jbritain](https://modrinth.com/user/jbritain) for making vloumetric clouds for VTXS!

It is highly recommended to use a PBR resource pack, as the integrated PBR system is very limited.

The shader now works on Intel GPUs, however, there may still be issues. Please report any issues in my [Discord server](https://discord.gg/5zg5XuhCBk).

Verlixia


### DISCLAIMER!
Most of the Verlixia code is originally by Capt Tatsu in his [BSL Shaders](https://modrinth.com/shader/bsl-shaders). Verlixia is a “fork” of BSL Shaders v8.3 with permission by Capt Tatsu himself. Credits to Capt Tatsu! Verlixia is also currently in beta and slightly unfinished.

## Verlixia!
**Verlixia** is a shaderpack based on BSL that adds/changes:
– Color toning: Warmer colors during the day but cooler colors during night time and storms!
– Better darkness: Nights and caves are more darker for realism, including storms.
– Wet reflections: Water is now reflective by default and now after it rains, blocks will have a shiny wet reflection!
– Multi-colored block lighting: Soul torches and redstone objects have their own colored glow, but is pretty subtle!
– Heat haze: A wavy effect when you are looking at things like lava, fire, torches or in a desert, savanna or the Nether!
– Wind gust system: Waving is now randomized and can be a little wavy up to wavy based off wind gust.
– New atmospherics: The End has an endless purple aurora in the sky and way more purple toned than BSL, the Moon has a more bluish tint than BSL too.
– Darkness effect rework, including desaturtion, film grain boost and a slight chromatic aberration effect, for horror effect.

### Platforms, versions and hardware requirements
Verlixia can be ran with the Iris mod with Sodium and/or OptiFine, works best on Iris due to its modern architecture and Sodium integration. Verlixia can work also on many versions and subversions like BSL, this includes:

– 1.21.x (has been tested)
– 1.20.x
– 1.19.x
– 1.18.x
– 1.17.x
– 1.16.x
– 1.15.x
– 1.14.x
– 1.13.x
– 1.12.x
– 1.11.x
– 1.10.x
– 1.9.x
– 1.8.x

Verlixia is pretty demanding, more demanding than BSL so you will need these for your PC for **High** experiences on **1440p**:

| Tier | Recommended GPUs | Target Performance |
| :— | :— | :— |
| **Minimum** | RTX 1660 Super / RX 5600 XT / Arc A380 | 40+ FPS |
| **Recommended** | RTX 5070 Ti / RX 9070 XT | 144+ FPS |
| **Best Performance** | RTX 5090 | 240+ FPS |

| Tier | Recommended CPUs | Target Performance |
| :— | :— | :— |
| **Minimum** | Ryzen 5 3600 / i3-12100 | 30+ FPS |
| **Recommended** | Ryzen 7 7700X / i9-12700K | 144+ FPS |
| **Best Performance** | Ryzen 9 9950X3D / i9-14900KS | 240+ FPS |

However these are just estimates and may be inaccurate and depends on how powerful your CPU is. These estimates only count 1440p and High, 1080p + Medium has lower requirements and 4K + Ultra has way higher requirements. This also depends on how much RAM you have, 32 GB is recommended / give Minecraft 6GB.

### License & testing info
Verlixia is created by KaiakK, original BSL shaders by Capt Tatsu. This plugin was tested on a RTX 4060, 1440p, 16GB of RAM! First shader pack by me ever, probably the last too.

Thanks for 8,000 downloads!

Valentine Shader

## Valentine Shader
[](https://modrinth.com/shader/valentine) [](https://modrinth.com/shader/valentine)
[](https://curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/valentine-shader)
[](https://curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/valentine-shader)

Based on [**SuperDuperVanilla**](https://modrinth.com/shader/super-duper-vanilla)

Supports Distant Horizons AND PBR!

**WARNING**: this is kinda just a silly holiday shader, and may not recieve updates.

[WIP] Valentine Shader is a modified version of [**SuperDuperVanilla**](https://modrinth.com/shader/super-duper-vanilla), with quite a few tweaks to suit a more love/valentines themed aesthetic. **It is an Official Amethyst Group Project, made by gamerbenyt.**

**Modifications:**
– **PINK PINK EVERYWHERE**
– **Overworld Skies are Pink, with different tones depending on the daylight time.**
– **Shadows reflect new colors.**
– **Nether (Currently) Remains Untouched from the original shader.**
– **The Black Hole in The End is now a purply-pink color, with pink spirals.**

### Notice:
Though Valentine Shader is based on [**SuperDuperVanilla**](https://modrinth.com/shader/super-duper-vanilla), it **WILL NOT** be getting updates when SDV does, and the only updates that will be brought over from [**SuperDuperVanilla**](https://modrinth.com/shader/super-duper-vanilla), is their updated license, though updates to the license are very rare, as they seem to have stopped development. We include the FlameRender Studios License and follow it, but you must also agree to [**Our License**](https://github.com/gamerbenyt/Amethyst/blob/main/LICENSE)

## Watch Our Showcase!!

## Compatibility
Valentine Shader was build and playtested using [**Iris**](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris) but should have some compatibility with [**Optifine**](https://optifine.net/home), as [**SuperDuperVanilla**](https://modrinth.com/shader/super-duper-vanilla) works on [**Optifine**](https://optifine.net/home). We cannot guarantee that all features will be functional, or function correctly on [**Optifine**](https://optifine.net/home), but most people use [**Iris**](https://modrinth.com/mod/iris) nowadays anyways, so it should be no problem.
