Description from the author on Modrinth

This is a shadermod that is really, really lightweight and made for the most potato PC's. It doesn't add any extra rendering passes or post-processing effects, but tweaks the stuff that is already there.

It shouldn't lower you FPS at all.

You can tweak all the settings to your liking and disable stuff you don't want.

These are my recommended settings:

It is currently compatible with Fabric only. I recommend using Sodium with it (for even more FPS on lower end devices)

Will probably add more options in the future and also add presets and some other stuff.

How to install SimpleShader

  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 SimpleShader 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.
