ABOUT

**This shaderpack is currently a Work In Progress
and aims to bring a stylized, bright fantasy atmosphere.**

Main Features:

  • Full Nether & End Support: each dimension with its own lighting and mood.
  • Reworked Clouds: high-fidelity clouds that cast shadows over the world.
  • Stylized Water: foam, caustics, and colors that shift with depth and weather.
  • Dynamic Wind: grass, plants and foliage moving together under passing gusts.
  • Ambient Particles: falling leaves, dust, birds and ground mist.
  • Biome-Based Colors: sky, water and particles tinted by the biome you're in.
  • Advanced Lighting: godrays, screen space shadows and subsurface scattering.
  • Stylized Bloom & Glow: full support for emissives and underwater effects.
  • Dynamic Wet Ground: reflective surfaces during rain.
  • Multiple Visual Presets: Bright Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, Realistic, Pastel and Vanilla.
  • 4 Performance Tiers: independent from the visual preset you pick.
  • Mod Compatibility: Voxy, Distant Horizons and RenoDX (HDR).

Please be patient, the shaderpack is in progress. I take note of all feedback.

How to install ARTShade

  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 ARTShade 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.
