Description from the author on Modrinth

Valentine Shader

Based on **SuperDuperVanilla**

Supports Distant Horizons AND PBR!

WARNING: this is kinda just a silly holiday shader, and may not recieve updates.

[WIP] Valentine Shader is a modified version of **SuperDuperVanilla**, with quite a few tweaks to suit a more love/valentines themed aesthetic. It is an Official Amethyst Group Project, made by gamerbenyt.

Modifications:

  • PINK PINK EVERYWHERE
  • Overworld Skies are Pink, with different tones depending on the daylight time.
  • Shadows reflect new colors.
  • Nether (Currently) Remains Untouched from the original shader.
  • The Black Hole in The End is now a purply-pink color, with pink spirals.

Notice:

Though Valentine Shader is based on **SuperDuperVanilla**, it WILL NOT be getting updates when SDV does, and the only updates that will be brought over from **SuperDuperVanilla**, is their updated license, though updates to the license are very rare, as they seem to have stopped development. We include the FlameRender Studios License and follow it, but you must also agree to **Our License**

Watch Our Showcase!!

Compatibility

Valentine Shader was build and playtested using **Iris** but should have some compatibility with **Optifine**, as **SuperDuperVanilla** works on **Optifine**. We cannot guarantee that all features will be functional, or function correctly on **Optifine**, but most people use **Iris** nowadays anyways, so it should be no problem.

How to install Valentine Shader

  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 Valentine Shader 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.
