Thank you for using my shaders! The base shaders are a heavily modified https://modrinth.com/shader/base-shader to be basically exactly like acid shaders!

I just thought adding my own functions and making the editing process easy would
be a nice little upgrade. I have loved acid shaders since 2016, and have always wanted to learn how to make something similar.

5 years later (2021), I actualy looked inside the shader, and realized it was way easier than I thought it was.
I tried to make something, but never got far with it.

But now, (Late 2024), I actually know what I am doing. I know GLSL, I know how to utilize a workflow, I know what I have to do.
I have to make Acid Shaders fully user friendly.

So I did! just edit the common.glsl file, there's more information there.

(Note at 9/19/25) Thank you Yahiamice for trying out my shader, I kinda wish you check out the shader settings though, but I'm glad my goal of causing motion sickness succeeded anyways!!!!!11!1!1

(Note at 5/23/26) Thank you sanefrog for showcasing my shader, i'm glad it did it's job at providing motion sickness :)

How to install Acid Shaders 1.5

  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 Acid Shaders 1.5 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.
