Description from the author on Modrinth

This shader uses Screen Space Displacement as an alternative to POM.

As a result, blocks are re-rendered per-pixel as Highly Detailed 3D Models.

Use a POM resource pack. Rotr blocks is shown.

This is just for fun, and to test out if this technique is viable for use in Minecraft. It is very experimental, and will probably look very cursed and buggy in some cases.

Do not expect changing any other options outside the 'Displacement" menu to not break things, again, this is an experimental test shader. (it is built over the 'Just Colored Lighting' shader)

Please give me feedback here & on discord, if you want this to get better.
If you want, you can support me & my projects on Patreon & Youtube

Have Fun!

How to install 3D Displacement Test 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 3D Displacement Test 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.
