Bliss Shaders

# About The Shader
_**Bliss is a big edit of Chocapic13’s V9.0 – V9.1; [The original shaders can be found here!](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/chocapic13-shaders)**_

I liked chocapic13’s shaders, but i could not be satisfied. I decided i wanted to try and bring my own visual goals out in the shader while i learn how to develop shaders. So here i am, with a pretty sizeable edit that stands to be quite different from the original shader!
# Requirements
– The mod [“Iris”](https://www.irisshaders.dev/download). The mod [“Optifine”](https://optifine.net/downloads) might work as well.
– Designed for Minecraft versions 1.17.0+
– AMD, Intel, and NVidia graphics are supported
– Apple devices have limited support due to OpenGL version restrictions. [Please refer to this thread for more info](https://github.com/X0nk/Bliss-Shader/issues/181)

Arc

A shader for Iris & Optifine that aims to providing realistic visuals with very minimal performance loss. Almost every effect/feature can be fine-tuned for the ideal balance between performance and quality. This project is still in beta but will be reaching initial release very soon!
 
### Features
– HDR
– Full PBR support
– Dynamic, direct, colored block lighting
– Volumetric fog/lighting
– Automatic exposure
– Screen-space reflections
– Water waves & refraction
– Supports distorted and cascaded shadow mapping.
– Depth-of-Field
– Bloom

Also contains special support for [PhysicsMod](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/physics-mod) ocean waves & snow!

### Resource Packs
Supports LabPBR and OldPBR texture formats; The default setting for materials is “vanilla”, which hard-codes a limited set of PBR material values for the original Minecraft textures.

The recommended resource pack is [Patrix](https://www.patreon.com/patrix); when used make sure to set the shader setting for Material Format to “Patrix”, as it uses a special combination of OldPBR and LabPBR formats.

### Compatibility & Support
For best results use Iris 1.6 or later; however most features should work with Optifine or Oculus. If you have any suggestions or requests, you can reach out to me on the [ShaderLabs Discord](https://discord.gg/9CRwrfYU).

## Installation
1. Download the Alpha Piscium shaders for Minecraft from [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/shader/alpha-piscium) or [GitHub Release](https://github.com/Luna5ama/Alpha-Piscium/releases).
2. Install [Iris](https://www.irisshaders.dev/download) shader loader.
3. Open the Minecraft launcher and choose the Iris profile you just created with the version you’re playing.
4. Launch Minecraft.
5. Go to **Options** → **Video Settings** → **Shader Packs**, then click **Open Shader Pack Folder**.
6. Move the downloaded ZIP file into this folder (`.minecraft/shaderpacks`).
7. In-game, select the newly installed pack from the shaders list. (If you select a shader pack using Iris, its filename will turn yellow.)
8. Click **Done** or **Apply** and the shader will be loaded.

## FAQ
– **No lighting at night**: Please use PBR resource packs. For vanilla style, SPBR is recommended. Otherwise, try Patrix.
– **Can’t load shaderpack**: Please use Iris with version 1.7 or higher.
– **Everything goes dark when turning back**: This is due to the limitations of screenspace techniques. There isn’t a perfect way to fix this.
– **Intel GPU**: Alpha Piscium uses cutting-edge graphics technology. Unfortunately, Intel doesn’t maintain their OpenGL driver well, so Intel GPUs are not supported.
– **AMD GPU**: Check if your GPU driver is newer than 22.7.1. If older, please update your driver.
– **Other loading errors**: Press Ctrl+D in Iris’s shaderpack selection screen, then reload the shaderpack. Make an [issue](https://github.com/Luna5ama/Alpha-Piscium/issues) with the error message and the relevant files in `.minecraft/patched_shaders` as shown in the error message.

## Roadmap
### 1.8 Diffuse GI

Allium Shaders

# Allium Shaders


Allium is an edit of [Complementary Unbound](https://modrinth.com/shader/complementary-unbound) focused on bringing my creative vision to life. Emphasizing the beauty in colors and effects, all while staying as performant as it can be. With Allium, I hope to deliver a unique style and aesthetic that pushes my creativity to it’s limits.

v2.0 has received a massive overhaul on it’s overall look, feel and atmospherics. Even though this shader is fairly young and hasn’t received much updates, I began to feel as if the appearance was not going in a direction that I had originally intended. So I’ve spent the past couple of months revisioning what Allium should be, and what should have been. Although it’s not perfect, I have been fairly happy with how it has turned out and wanted to share it with you all. Cheers! 🙂

### Huge Thanks
– Emin for using [Complementary Unbound](https://modrinth.com/shader/complementary-unbound) as the base shader
– Query for their wonderful LUT code from [MollyVX](https://rutherin.netlify.app/mollyvx.html)
– Xonk for their RTGI and RTAO implementation

### Disclaimer
This shaderpack includes code that was generated or assisted by Artificial Intelligence. While all code has been tested for functionality and performance, users should be aware that parts of the logic (e.g., GLSL functions or noise algorithms) were created with the help of generative AI tools.

## Beta & Release Versions
### Beta
Beta versions are the most recent builds and are released regularly for public testing. If you encounter any issues, please report them.

Beta Versions here on modrinth are also limited, as they are the most stable build I am able to give out, if you want the most up to date unstable versions for testing you can visit [Allium’s Github Page](https://github.com/clorece/Allium)

### Release
Releases are stable, polished versions that result from thorough testing and iteration during the in-development phase. These builds are intended for general use and offer the best balance of visuals, performance, and reliability.

There are no official releases yet…

## Bug Reporting
If you happen to find any bugs, please report them on the [Github Page](https://github.com/clorece/Allium) by:
### 1. Create a New Issue
– Go to the Issues section and click on “New Issue”.

### 2. Provide a Clear Title and Description

– Upload log files if applicable.

3D Displacement Test Shader

This shader uses Screen Space Displacement as an alternative to POM.

As a result, blocks are re-rendered per-pixel as Highly Detailed 3D Models.

**Use a POM resource pack.** [Rotr blocks](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/rotrblocks) is shown.

This is just for fun, and to test out if this technique is viable for use in Minecraft. It is very experimental, and will probably look very cursed and buggy in some cases.

Do not expect changing any other options outside the ‘Displacement” menu to not break things, again, this is an experimental test shader. (it is built over the ‘Just Colored Lighting’ shader)

Please give me feedback here & on discord, if you want this to get better.
If you want, you can support me & my projects on Patreon & Youtube

Have Fun!
