Description from the author on Modrinth

About The Shader

Bliss is a big edit of Chocapic13's V9.0 - V9.1; The original shaders can be found here!

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!

How to install Bliss Shaders

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Bliss Shaders in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
