A Minecraft shader that only adds shadows
MINIMAL is a shader pack made by felixmgoff. It supports Minecraft 1.18 – 1.21. It has been downloaded 34,506 times on Modrinth. The last update came out on Feb 6, 2025.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick MINIMAL in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
