MakeUp aims to provide the best quality / performance ratio, building a shader that can be adapted to anyone's resources. Build the shader you want! All the effects are optional!, and you will only consume the resources that you need.
¡Compatible with Optifine and Iris!
It can be boring that everything looks the same all the time. Choose a color scheme according to your tastes and change it whenever you want.
Leave Optifine's native shader options at their default values, otherwise you may see shader quality reduced. Customize using only the options of the shader itself.
Shadows and depth of field are resource-intensive effects. You can remove them if you need more performance, and it will still look great.
If you think this work deserves a small stipend, please donate! I will be eternally grateful to you:
Written by KDXavier. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick MakeUp in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
