Description from the author on Modrinth

Since there is no post-processing, it is very lightweight and runs smoothly even on low-end devices and tablets.
It slightly enhances the vanilla lighting and adds a warm tone near torches.
The water retains its vanilla color and texture, with only waves added to the surface.
Wave height, wave speed, and light intensity can be adjusted.
The difference from Optimized Shader and Balanced Lite Shader is the addition of waves alongside the lighting effects.

How to install Super FPS 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 Super FPS 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.
