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.

Spring Shaders (Chun)
# Introduction
“Spring” sets a tone of freshness and nature, using soft and bright colors to create a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere. As the harsh winter melts away and all living things recover, who is it that plucks the strings of the season and plays the movement of life? The brand-new shader work, **Spring v2**, will take you into a dreamlike utopia.
## Shader Information
This shader is a practice work I wrote while studying the course *Games202 – High Quality Real-Time Rendering*. I consider it a sequel to the “Spring” series of shaders; you can view it as a refactored/completed version of *Spring v1*. “Spring” is the codename I used when creating texture packs ten years ago, and I have continued to use this designation.
Below are the effects included in this shader:
### Lighting System
* Path Traced Global Illumination (PTGI) and Ray-Traced Colored Lighting (Requires Iris, disabled by default).

Soft Voxels Lite
[](https://youtu.be/RwGXOxF3DsM “Soft Voxels Showcase”)
## **What is Soft Voxels Lite?**
This is the free edition of my Soft Voxels Shaderpack, which intends to be a minimalistic and rather performant shaderpack that relies on voxels and path-tracing to give you some fast yet good looking lighting. This obviously also includes proper colored lighting from various emitters. As there is no actual shadowmap the direct light from sun and moon is rather soft, giving the pack its signature overcast outdoor-looks.
## **What features does it offer?**
* path-traced lighting
* temporal upscaling (TAAU), at 50% by default
* dynamic fog
* screenspace godrays
* screenspace reflections
* waving foliage
* resourcepack specular support (according to labPBR specification)
## **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 4.3)
* GTX1660/RX 5600XT or better recommended for 1080p at default settings
* Windows/Linux
* **Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!**

#### Special Thanks
– Fayer: _very_ extensive help with QA, support, repairs, and motivation.
– Builderb0y: help with optimized bit-magic supporting the core of voxelization.
– Bálint: Created the fancy Iris warning, as well as more help with bit-shifting madness.
– Tech: Helped implement improved soft shadow filtering & dithering.
Reverie
Reverie is a minecraft shader with a semi-realistic, dreamy style. It features a physically based atmosphere and advanced indirect lighting techniques.
Support for both **Distant Horizons** and **Voxy** is available, with more mods coming in the future.
### Dynamic weather system
Weather elements such as cloud cover, fog, and wind direction adapt dynamically based on biome, season, and altitude. Still, having every location always look the same would feel repetitive. To keep things fresh, these parameters are slightly randomized every time the shader loads, so each day looks unique, much like in the real world!
### Powerful & Customizable
Reverie has a streamlined customization system. Most light colors are customizable (with more to come). If you’re performance constrained, then rest assured. Set the profile to ‘Toaster’ and enjoy good performance (60fps on my laptop’s integrated graphics) with minimal visual compromises.
### Beautiful screenshots
The built-in screenshot mode freezes the weather, so you can get your shots lined up just right! Enable cinematic effects like depth of field, lens flare or chromatic aberration, to get the vibe you want exactly. Reverie also has advanced color balancing options, as well as several tonemappers to choose from.
