Description from the author on Modrinth

Info

This resourcepack contains all my previous core shaders that are in their own packs. Normally you wouldn't be able to combine them together so thats what this resourcepack is for.

How to config

If you want to disable some of the packs embedded in this you can do so in the settings file.
The settings file can be found at "assets/bluebird/shaders/include/settings.glsl".
In order to change the settings, just change true to false or vice versa next to the variables (Case Sensitive).

How to install Blue's Core Shaders

  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 Blue's Core Shaders 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.
