About

DERCODE is a recode based on the Derivative shader that adds various effects and improvements

It also fixes various bugs from the original Derivative shader
At the moment, the shader has BAD-optimization due to poorly implemented PT functions

This project started development in late 2024 based on the Bliss shader, but was later moved to Derivative because older Bliss builds did not allow implementing the features that were achieved here

The shader will continue to receive updates in the future, and it may eventually be rewritten from scratch instead of being just a recode

!

Everything related to RECODE will be documented in the changelogs.

How to install DERCODE

  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 DERCODE 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.
