RedHat Shaders
– About
RedHat is a shaderpack that for Iris and Optifine.
It is an edit of an old version of Chocapic13, and has many features.
RedHat’s main features are lighting effects such as Godrays (3D, or 2D, if you have a low-end machine), Shadows, Underwater Light Absorption, and many more.
The shaderpack features reflections too, and reflects some light on all surfaces, to make everything look more similar to the Minecraft trailers style.
There are many cinematic options such as Lens Flares, Depth of Field (Chromatic Aberration included), Grain, Tilt Shift, and others.
The colors, which change depending on the time, make everything more realistic yet they keep the fantasy vibe.
There are many effects related to movement as well. All foliage or hanging things such as lanterns wave. Along those there are Waving Hand and Waving Camera options too, configurable as well.
If that wasn’t enough, RedHat supports all versions from 1.7.10 up to 1.21, and it supports custom skyboxes!
Lastly, there are many atmospherics effects such as Fog and Clouds, Round moon and sun, and other things like PBR support, Auto-Exposure, Stars, and many, many other things.
There are a lot of ways you can customize the shaderpack, and make it look like the way you want.
– Requirements
GPU: Must support OpenGL 3.2 and have at least 1GB of VRAM. AMD, NVIDIA and Intel are all supported (You’ll have to decrease some settings to play smoothly with Intel GPUs).
CPU: Must have a minimum clock speed of 1GHz
RAM: Must have located at least 1.5-2GB of RAM to your game
OS: Windows (7,8, 8.1, 10, 11), Linux (Mesa drivers might lead to issues)
Shadermod: Optifine or Iris
MC Version: 1.7.10, up to 1.21
> Light Settings Recommendation: i3/i5 3-4th Gen, 4GB DDR3 RAM, GT 1030 2GB GDDR5
> Balanced Settings Recommendation: i5/i7 8-9th Gen, 8GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 1050 Ti 4GB GDDR5
> Heavy Settings Recommendation: i5/i7/i9 10th+ Gen, 16GB DDR5 RAM, GTX 1660 Ti 6GB GDDR6
If you use RedHat without meeting these requirements, then keep in mind you’ll take a risk.
RedHat is a pretty heavy shaderpack, thus do not expect it to be FPS friendly on the default settings.
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.

#### 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.

– Shader packs are generally not very dependent on MC versions; as long as Iris is available, Photon should just work.

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)’.

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.
