Pickle Shade

🥒 PickleShade

v1.0.0. "First Brine"

A vanilla shaderpack built for low-end PCs.

Big looks, footprint. No shadowmaps, no TAA, no ray tracing. Clean classic GLSL that runs great even on potato GPUs.

✨ What you get

• 🌿 A living world. Grass, flowers and leaves sway in the wind water ripples on the surface
• ☀️ directional shading. The sun and moon light up faces naturally
• 🌫️ Distance fog. Matched to the sky color, underwater and in lava
• 🌊 Deep water. Fades to blue and turns opaque with distance
• ✨ Bloom. Warm glow around the sun, torches, glowstone and lava
• 🎞️ Filmic look. ACES tone mapping, rich color grading and a subtle vignette

🪶 Why its fast

No shadowmaps to render no temporal effects, no heavy compute shaders. Every effect is a single lightweight fullscreen pass. On graphics or a 10-year-old GPU this is the shader that still keeps your FPS high.

🎛️ Your rules

13 adjustable settings in-game, under Shader Pack Settings. Wave speed & intensity bloom, exposure, saturation, contrast, color temperature, vignette. All apply instantly no restart needed.
