this shader is an edit of "The-Next-Shader" made by Coldnight and under Apache license. it aims to semi-realistic style, and high performance, with some basic stuff that the original work doesn't have.
idk what more, you can try it and find out
if you caught any issues (like game rendering, artifacts, or anything else), you can report them to me so i can fix them.. create issues here
this shader has been tested on Intel. it should theoretically work on AMD and Nvidia, but I am not entirely sure.
Written by fujimichi. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
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 Serendipity 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.
