Description from the author on Modrinth

DO YOU PLAY ON A POTATOE?

these shaders are made for the lowest end of pcs getting over 60fps on a gt730

these shaders are also made to be very minimal VERY MINIMAL but also keep a good aesthetic
while not frying your pc.
Thanks for downloading if you like the shaders support me by subbing to me on youtube youtube.com/@Creepercgaming i would also reccomend using custom sky resource packs cause it looks kinda bad :/
