Tired of shaders that turn your game into a slideshow? HyperShader is all you need! Built from the ground up for low-end PCs and integrated graphics, HyperShader delivers jaw-dropping, hyper-realistic visuals while keeping your game buttery smooth. No more stutters. No more lag. No more choosing between beauty and playability — now you get both. 🔥
If your computer struggles with other shaders, this is the one you've been waiting for. HyperShader is optimized to run incredible graphics on modest hardware, so you can finally enjoy Minecraft the way it was meant to look — with high FPS and zero frustration.
🔥✨ NEW in v1.3 — The Living Light Update: torches, lanterns and campfires glow with their own flickering light, ores shimmer in the dark, an aurora dances over snowy biomes at night, round stars, eye adaptation in caves, burning sunset clouds and a sun path across the water — plus chests, signs and beds no longer render black
❄️ v1.2 — The Elements Update: living snow with sparkling frost, heat haze over lava, underwater light rays and silver moon rays at night
Every single detail can be tuned right from the shader's own settings menu — you are in full control:
Running on a potato? 🥔 Just slide a couple of settings down and keep that gorgeous look at smooth FPS. Got a beast of a rig? Crank everything to max and watch your world come alive in full hyper-realistic glory. 🚀
⚡ v1.3.1 trims the shadow pass and the god rays to what is actually on screen. On an integrated GPU at 24 chunks that meant 11× less shadow geometry and up to 70% more FPS — same look, more frames.
Download HyperShader today — and finally see Minecraft like never before. 💎

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 HyperShader 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.
