Description from the author on Modrinth

Description

Welcome to Monophonic! It is a shaderpack that aims for good performance and compatibility for gameplay!
(PSST, you should use this shaderpack while listening to this upcoming song, presave it its awesome and its also mine! Yes I am promoting my song... Yes I am desperate.) Awesome Song To Listen 2 While using Monophonic

Compatibility

It is compatible with Iris only (Optifine won't work!!) and works well with AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, Intel iGPUs should theoretically work fine, but no intel user has tested this shaderpack yet.

Nether and End support are limited at the moment, so don't expect full compatibility.

License

For the most, I use the all rights reserved license, but I really wouldn't recommend using my code (I did not intend it for the use of being edited). If you'd like to edit anyway, you can ask me here! discord.gg/6nyR6CKHbg

How to install Monophonic Shaderpack

  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 Monophonic Shaderpack 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.
