Aerie Shaders is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is Aerie Shaders v1.0.0, published on Dec 30, 2022.
Initial release. See project description for details.
Aerie is a pipeline shader for Canvas that unifies the Vanilla style while adding some useful new features like TAA, bloom, autogenerated normals, and colored handheld lighting.
Canvas is a client-side optimization mod similar to Sodium and Optifine. It increases performance by using shaders for game rendering, and allows custom third-party shaders using an entirely different format. Aerie requires Canvas, and as such, it will never work with Optifine or Iris!

Written by ambrosia. 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 Aerie Shaders 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.
