Red And Black Shaders

# ** ARCHIVED **
I am sorry I am giving up on this project since i am working on something better so this project has been archived but
**others are allowed to create their own updated forks / continuations**

Unlike other shader packs, this one stands out by providing visibility through separation of the rendering of the entities from the rest of the world’s scenery. As the entire scenery fades into the darkness, the shader makes use of its own red spectrum glow in order to illuminate everything else that is alive, movable, and even thrown at the player.

# **NOTE**
This Shaders is Mainly for The Minecraft Verison 1.21.9 in the newer verisons its kinda glitchy it will be fixed soon.
also if you find any bugs please report in my discord server.

Raincore

—
The rain never stopped in 1998.

[](https://github.com/myueqf/Raincore/stargazers)

#### About：
Raincore is a shader pack that captures the petrichor scent of moist earth after the rain, featuring distinct pixelated effects and grain/lo-fi.
This is my fifth shader pack, built upon my previous work, [Lantern](https://modrinth.com/shader/lantern-shader). I hope you enjoy it! (^-^)

#### Performance：
No high-end hardware is required; integrated graphics are sufficient for a smooth experience.
For the best visual balance, a render distance of 8 chunks is recommended. While you can go lower, it is best kept between 8 to 11 chunks.

– >[CurseForge](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/raincore)

#### FAQ：
– **Q**: Can I include this shader in my Modpack?
– **A**: Distributing this shader as part of a modpack without modifying its source code is not considered creating a derivative work. Other components of the modpack are not bound by the GPLv3 license.

PVP ZeroX

# ABOUT:

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.

PSX Shader

# Features:
1. Vertex Snap (My favorite, and most crucial effect)
2. Custom Texture Filtering
3. Posterization
4. Scale Lines
5. Pixelization
6. Distant Horizons Support

# Some Examples :
Keep in mind, viewing experience might be different on different resolutions, due to scale lines, you can see weird lines appear on images…

For example my Display is 3440×1440, so its 1440p 21:9, and this is how I tested it.

For best images I recommend going into gallery of this project!

Potato Shaders


## What is the Potato Shader?
This is a shaderpack that tries to stay as lightweight as possible to, as its name might suggest, even be usable on a literal potato of a PC. However it still tries to enhance the visuals in a reasonable way, despite lacking the fabled dynamic shadows and other effects of expensive nature. It also provides a degree of customizability through various ingame settings to allow you to get the experience you want.

## What features does it offer?
* Dynamic Colors
* Tonemapping
* Bloom
* Depth of Field
* Motionblur
* Temporal Anti-Aliasing
* Ambient Occlusion
* Custom Water
* Normalmap Support
and many more.

## Any Requirements?
* OptiFine for 1.12 or newer/Iris 1.5.0 or newer
* A graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.0
* Windows/Linux
* **Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported on Windows (blame Intel Drivers)!**
