Pumpkin

## Pumpkin Shaders
Shaders that (try) to not make your computer cry while still somewhat sticking to the vanilla style.

#### PLEASE REPORT ALL ISSUES ON THE [GITHUB ISSUE TRACKER](https://github.com/mekboy21-dev/pumpkin-shaders/issues)

**PLEASE NOTE:** This shader is in early stages of development and you may experience issues while playing.

Tested on Windows & Linux. Iris is recommended over Optifine for versions that support it.

### Why is it called ‘pumpkin’?
I opened Minecraft, went to a village and saw a pumpkin. Thats kinda just it.

Psiho shader

I do not know how **_psychos_** see the world, but I was curious. That’s how I created this shader.

Caution! If in the settings file.glsl change the shader parameter and make it greater than 100, unpleasant things can happen.

Do you want to try something new? This shader will add a sense of madness and pain to the game. It is especially suitable for those who have already gone through Minecraft many times, built many buildings and created mods and shaders. If you get bored, try to test your strength and become a real masochist!

With this shader, every stage of the game, from the tree to the dragon, will become incredibly difficult. But that’s not all! Try to build something more complicated than two blocks on the sides and three up. Feel the real pain and enjoy the game on a new level!

For true connoisseurs of difficulties, open the settings file.glsl and make the following changes:

“`glsl
#define MESS_INTENSITY 250.0 // maybe… more)?
“`

Prismarine Shader

**ABOUT**

+ Prismarine is a BSL Shaders edit. It aims to provide beautiful visuals at moderate performance cost.

**KEY FEATURES**

+ Fancy volumetrics (clouds, fog, Nether & The End smoke)

+ Custom sky effects (nebulae, auroras, planar clouds, stars, moon smoke)

+ Integrated PBR resourcepack

+ Cinematic blur effects (depth of field, motion & distant blur, bloom)

+ Fancy water effects (refraction, caustics, light absorption & scattering and underwater light shafts)

PosterizationShader

## **PosterizationShader – Artistic Posterization Shader**

Transform your Minecraft into a stylized poster with this lightweight shader pack!

**What is posterization?** Posterization is an artistic effect that reduces the number of colors in an image to discrete levels, creating a unique visual style with clearly defined color bands instead of smooth gradients.

**Features:**

– Customizable posterization effect (4-32 levels)

– Maximum performance – virtually no impact on FPS

– Full compatibility with Optifine and Iris Shaders

– Supports Minecraft 1.16+

**Configuration:**
Change the POSTERIZATION_LEVELS parameter in the shaders.properties file:

– 4 – Extreme posterization (very few colors)

– 8 – Medium posterization (default, recommended)

– 16 – Light posterization

– 32 – Barely noticeable posterization

**Installation:**

1. Install Optifine or Iris + Sodium

2. Place PosterizationShader.zip in your .minecraft/shaderpacks/ folder

3. Activate the shader in video settings

**Technical Details:** The shader works by quantizing the RGB channels of each pixel at the final rendering stage, which allows for high performance while creating a unique visual effect.
Perfect for:

– Screenshots and artistic content

– Players who want a unique visual experience

– Low-end PCs (shader is very lightweight)

Pomme

# 🍏 Pomme

Pomme is an experimental, early-stage, vanilla-style Minecraft shader that reimagines depth effects. Inspired by Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM) but designed to overcome its limitations, Pomme extrudes and carves faces to simulate actual 3D geometry.

Unlike classic POM, which flattens at sharp angles and sharply stops at face edges, Pomme maintains its depth effect consistently, offering a more immersive visual style.

## ✨ Features

Pomme can extrude the pixels of any surface, independent of the view angle. It handles intersecting geometry surprisingly well: shared edges between blocks, block-entity collision, and entity-entity intersections should render correctly in most cases.

Currently supports:
– Blocks
– Tile entities
– Entities (including players and items)
– Held items

## ⚠️ Known Limitations

Pomme is still in proof-of-concept territory.
It makes heavy use of geometry shaders, which may cause significant performance issues depending on your GPU.

Current issues:
– “Layered effects” aren’t rendered (enchantment glint, fog, blindness…)
– Sloped liquids aren’t extruded correctly
– Torches can break extrusion when viewed head-on
– Transparent block culling (glass, water) is view-direction dependent
– Some single-plane models render oddly (sunflowers, stonecutter blade, rails…)
– Various rendering glitches (potted plants, tall seagrass, calibrated sculk sensors…)
– Extrusion is based on texture luminance, not actual height maps (yet)

Pixel Perfect


# Notice
This project has been archived. I unfortunately don’t have time to keep it up to date, so you may run into issues with newer Minecraft/Iris versions.

# Overview
Pixel Perfect is a Minecraft shader designed from scratch with two main goals:

1. **Aesthetics with Function**: It revamps the vanilla look while maintaining gameplay, focusing on color and functionality. Unlike other shaders that are mainly eye candy, Pixel Perfect aims to be a viable replacement for Minecraft’s default visuals.
2. **Cool Toys**: This shader has lots of unique features and small enhancements, from invisibility distortion to streamer mode lighting to custom colorgrading (upload your own LUTs if you’re tech-savvy enough).

# Features

A selection of some of the features Pixel Perfect has to offer:
– **Levels of Vanilla**
– Choose the amount of vanilla you want in your shader from three presets.
– Vanilla **+**
– Vanilla **++**
– Vanilla **+++**
– **Extreme Customizability**
– Nearly every value and shader effect can be tweaked, from *contrast* to *wind speed* to *invisibility distortion*.
– If you have Python, a custom python script allows you to upload and configure your own colorgrading profiles.
– **Dynamic Wind**
– Rather than blowing randomly, foliage gets affected by individual gusts of wind traveling in different directions
– Weather affects the speed, direction, and intensity of wind gusts
– Different dimensions have their own wind profiles
– Choose between several **Darkness Options**, including *Hardcore Darkness* and *Streamer Mode*.
– **Much, *much* more** (see all of this shader’s features in the [changelog](/shader/pixel-perfect/changelog)).
