Description

I'm sure most of you have heard of the Chowder effect in Minecraft now, because it has been all over the place. However, up until now there hasn't been an easy and simple way to get the effect for yourself. This texture pack works in completely Vanilla Minecraft, which means you don't need to do any work or install anything extra to make this pack function. However if you use Sodium, this pack won't work for you. I may attempt at fixing this in a future update.

How to Use

  1. It's very simple, just apply the pack as normal. No need to unzip, just put it in your resourcepacks folder or drag it into the resourcepacks screen.
  2. If the pack is not working, it's most likely because you have sodium installed. Make sure you uninstall it at least temporarily to try out the texture pack
  3. If the pack doesn't show up, it's most likely because you have recursive resources, and you need to click "Folder View" in the bottom left and then search for the pack.

How to install Chowder

  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 Chowder 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.
