Description from the author on Modrinth

This shader pack turns your world into a normal map. This is mostly useful for Minecraft graphic designers as it allows the designer to choose a specific face and color it separately from everything else.

Written by Seltop. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.

How to install NMS

  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 NMS 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.
