Pixel Rework

Pixel Rework is a polished shaderpack that keeps Minecraft’s vanilla identity intact while improving visual clarity, lighting balance, and overall atmosphere. It focuses on clean, stable rendering with natural-looking daylight, smoother shadow transitions, clearer skies, and carefully tuned water behavior that avoids extreme distortion. The pack is designed to feel familiar, not over-stylized: colors stay true to vanilla, performance remains practical, and visual upgrades are applied with restraint so the world still feels authentically Minecraft.

Phoxel PT

## Please read!
This shader is still in beta, expect to encounter issues, because you will. When you do come across issues, let me know about it! I am actively working on improving and fixing up Phoxel, and your help will make it a lot easier

## About Phoxel
Phoxel was started because of a lack of publicly available path tracing shaders for Minecraft, and was originally meant to be purely vanilla in it’s style. But with the 0.6 re-release, Phoxel is starting to take on it’s own visual style, and I now strive for Phoxel to capture some of the beauty of real life, mixed with the unique ambience and blocky beauty of the Minecraft we’ve all come to love.

Phoxel currently covers two shaders: Phoxel PT, and Phoxel Lite, some info will differ between the two. All new releases and features will come out on Phoxel PT before Phoxel Lite, but Phoxel Lite will have a few features before Phoxel PT, purely because some features are much easier to implement without path tracing.

## Phoxel PT
### Phoxel PT is designed for screenshots, if you want to use Phoxel for gameplay, please check out Phoxel Lite (Not yet available)
Phoxel PT is the original, with the goal of eventually capturing Phoxel, with it’s core philosophy, at it’s absolute best. (with some render time of course :P)

## Extra Info
Report issues and see up coming updates for the project on [Github](https://github.com/Despatra/Phoxel). See events, ask questions, and do more in the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/GSF9D3Q2T5)

### Most Recent Update
Phoxel is back, but there are changes to how things will work:
1. I will no longer be releasing Beta versions, instead all projects will now only include releases and patches
2. All full releases will receive patches to make sure they work with the most recent version of Minecraft

Generally this does mean releases will be much more spread out in comparison to pre Phoxel Beta 0.5 releases, but I feel you all deserve not crappy shaders and projects.
I’m going to try a couple more things, but if what I try doesn’t work, or is something beyond me, Phoxel will not be able to be as performant as needed, and may move to a screenshot directed shader, rather than a real time path tracer, and the quality will probably never be comparable to others.

* You can also [donate](https://ko-fi.com/sixthsurge) if you would like to say thanks

#### Frequently asked questions

1. “When will Photon be released for _new Minecraft version_?”
– Shader packs are generally not very dependent on MC versions; as long as Iris is available, Photon should just work.

## Features

* Fully revamped sky, lighting and water
* Detailed clouds with several layers and many different cloud types
* Immersive weather system providing different skies each day
* Voxel-based colored lighting (enabled with Ultra profile, requires Iris)
* Screen-space reflections

* Much improved image quality with TAA, FXAA and CAS
* Advanced temporal upscaling (disabled by default) for low end devices
* Extensive settings menu allowing you to customize every aspect of the shader
* Full labPBR resource pack support

## Compatibility

### Shader loaders
* [Iris](https://irisshaders.dev/download) (recommended)
* Iris is a modern shader loader with far better performance, mod compatibility and developer features than OptiFine
* Some features (Colored Lighting) will only work on Iris
* [OptiFine](https://optifine.net/home)

### GPU vendors
* Nvidia
* AMD
* Intel
* **NOT** compatible with Apple GPUs (Metal)

Pegasus Shaders

If you follow me on [YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/@timetravelbeard3588?si=gBJoIsu4O9kolu_r), or play with any of my heavy shaders, you know I like to push the limits and do things that no one has done before. But those shaders are heavy!!

The aim of this shader is to mix some of the state of the art and never done before features of my hard to run shaders ‘[Icarus](https://www.patreon.com/timetravelbeard)’ and ‘[CTMPOMFIX](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/shaders/ctmpomfix-shader-chocapic13-shaders-edit)’, and the performance of my very fast Vanilla+ shader ‘[Simply Upscaled](https://modrinth.com/shader/simply-upscaled)’.

This is Pretty Early in development.

If you would like to support development, play with my more top-tier shaders ‘Icarus’, get early access to dev builds and new features, or just say thank you, please join [my Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/timetravelbeard).

** ‘Vx’ versions (0.3.3 and up) get lower fps due to voxelizing for Colored Lighting. If you use 0.3.2 you will get better fps but not have Colored Lighting**

–
Current notable features:

-distant horizons support

-physics mod support

-photonics mod support (check alpha versions)

-crashing Beach waves (with physics mod and iris on 1.20.1 or higher)

-optional texture upscaling

-pbr

-speed (on lower presets)

-vanilla, cartoon, and realistic/fantasy styles

OPAL Shaders

# ABOUT

OPAL Shaders is a shaderpack for Minecraft Java Edition based on [BSL Shaders](https://bitslablab.com/bslshaders/) created by Capt Tatsu.
It aims to blend a fantasy atmosphere with natural colors and contrast while staying true to Minecraft’s original style.

If you’re using Iris, I recommend installing [LambDynamicLights](https://modrinth.com/mod/lambdynamiclights) mod for dynamic lights.

# AGREEMENT

### You’re allowed to:

– Use this shaderpack for taking and sharing screenshots and videos.
– Publish your heavily modified version of the pack if both OPAL and BSL shaders are clearly credited (including their authors) and the name of your edit is original.

### You’re not allowed to:

– Redistribute the shaderpack without my permission.
– Claim (and rename) my shaderpack (or its code) as your own.

ONWARD Shader

# a fork of Lethal Shaders used in my modpack, ONWARD.

**THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY IN BETA. IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY ERRORS/BUGS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND REPORTING IT ON THE [GITHUB PAGE](https://github.com/nwoof2012/Nwoofs-Wynn-Shader/issues), ESPECIALLY IF NO ONE ELSE HAS YET.**

# About
Are you looking to play Wynncraft with shaders, but don’t want to compromise on playability or visuals? _**Nwoof’s Wynn Shader**_ is designed with a goal to fulfill that wish at its core. Designed and written based on problems encountered by Wynncraft players regarding shaders, this is the first shader designed with the Wynncraft player’s experience in mind.

# Features
– ## Shadowmapping
Virtual texture-based shadow system. Provides customization options such as adjustable resolution and culling distance.
– ## Bloom
Simulates a glow effect for added realism to the world’s lighting and illumination. The amount of total samples in this effect can be adjusted to provide the right balance of performance and visual quality.
– ## Lighting
The lighting algorithms include Scene-Aware Lighting that adjusts the color of the world’s lighting based on the original light source, toggleable Path-Traced Global Illumination which simulates the emission and reflection of light rays, and a customizable range for controlling/balancing light levels. There is also Custom Water with Screen Space Reflections and Light Refraction.
– ## Sky
The shader also comes with sky features such as Customizable Sky/Fog/Atmosphere Colors for various times of day, and Volumetric Clouds that adapt to the weather.
– ## Scene-Aware Grading
When travelling throughout the world, the tonemapping and color grading will automatically adjust to a scheme which is appropriate for your location.
– ## Mod Support
Nwoof’s Wynn Shader has integrated support for mods like [Wynncraft Dynamic Weather](https://modrinth.com/mod/wynncraft-dynamic-weather), [Distant Horizons](https://modrinth.com/mod/distanthorizons), and [Physics Mod](https://www.patreon.com/Haubna).
