Latest release on GitHub

Ebin Resurrected is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is Release 1.5.6, published on May 25, 2025.

The Final Release (I hope)

  • Fixed issue where the shaderpack would not compile with floodfill enabled in the nether or end (thanks @DistortedDragon1o4)
  • Fixed issue where water was invisible on Optifine

This will likely be the last update for Ebin as I have since moved onto other projects.

Before that: Release 1.5.5 (Nov 16, 2024), Release 1.5.4 (Oct 12, 2024).

Description from the author on Modrinth

Shader development is hard and takes a lot of time. If you enjoy my shaders, please consider supporting my work!

Ebin Resurrected

Ebin Resurrected is a vibrant and performant Minecraft shaderpack.

Ebin began with the goal of being fast, beautiful, configurable, feature-rich, and having a base of well-written code. It was developed by BruceKnowsHow from 2016-2020. jbritain resumed development of the shader in 2024 under the name 'Ebin Resurrected'. This is a fork of Ebin which brings compatibility with modern versions of Minecraft, and significantly improves upon aspects of the shader, such as PBR.

Features

  • Multicoloured Blocklight
  • Sunlight Shadows / Shading
  • PCSS 'Variable Penumbra' Shadows with transparency.
  • Bloom / Glow
  • Procedural 2D/3D Clouds
  • Procedural Water Waves
  • Deferred Shading Pipeline - Everything is correctly shaded, even behind semi-transparent blocks
  • Terrain Deformation - "Animal Crossing" and "Acid" deformations

LabPBR Compliant

  • Rough Screen Space Reflections - accurate specular reflections on all blocks.
  • Normal Mapped Lighting.
  • Terrain Parallax (POM).
  • Material Ambient Occlusion.
  • Hardcoded Metal Support.
  • Porosity - materials look 'wet' in the rain.

Planned Features

  • Distant Horizons support
  • End skybox

Compatibility

Minecraft

  • Optifine and Iris are both supported, however some features only work on Iris. Older Optifine or Iris versions may have issues, as the shader is developed on the latest versions of either.
  • Minecraft 1.17.1 is the earliest tested version. The shader may work on older versions but this is not guaranteed.

Hardware

  • OpenGL 4 compatible hardware is required. This boils down to Nvidia GeForce 400, AMD Radeon HD 5000, Intel HD 3rd gen or later. Any modern device should work fine.
  • The Raspberry Pi is not supported as it does not support OpenGL 4.
  • Intel GPUs are untested and you may encounter issues. If you do encounter issues, please report them, as Intel is intended to be supported.

Operating System

  • MacOS is NOT SUPPORTED.

If you run into problems

How to install Ebin Resurrected

  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 Ebin Resurrected 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.
