Description from the author on Modrinth

Potato+

Potato+ is a lightweight Minecraft shader pack designed specifically for low-end and very low-end PCs.

Unlike many shader packs that heavily impact performance, Potato+ focuses on maintaining smooth gameplay while still improving the visual experience. It adds subtle enhancements to lighting, colors, and atmosphere without sacrificing FPS.

Features

  • Optimized for low-end hardware
  • Minimal FPS impact
  • Lightweight and performance-focused
  • Improved lighting and atmosphere
  • Clean and simple visuals
  • Designed for everyday survival gameplay

Whether you're playing on an older laptop or a budget gaming PC, Potato+ aims to deliver a smoother and more enjoyable Minecraft experience without the performance cost of heavier shader packs.

Simple. Fast. Potato+.

Note:

  • Its better to pair this mod with Lamb-Dynamic Lights for better visuals with hand-held torches.
  • If FPS fluctuates reduce the Render Distance a little bit.
  • Newer Version runs on 60+ FPS on default-high settings on a Low end Pc.

How to install Potato+

  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 Potato+ 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.
