Description from the author on Modrinth

The rain never stopped in 1998.

About:

Raincore is a shader pack that captures the petrichor scent of moist earth after the rain, featuring distinct pixelated effects and grain/lo-fi.
This is my fifth shader pack, built upon my previous work, Lantern. I hope you enjoy it! (^-^)

Performance:

No high-end hardware is required; integrated graphics are sufficient for a smooth experience.
For the best visual balance, a render distance of 8 chunks is recommended. While you can go lower, it is best kept between 8 to 11 chunks.

FAQ:

  • Q: Can I include this shader in my Modpack?
  • A: Distributing this shader as part of a modpack without modifying its source code is not considered creating a derivative work. Other components of the modpack are not bound by the GPLv3 license.

How to install Raincore

  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 Raincore 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.
