Description from the author on Modrinth

Acid Shader Refurbished

A modernized version of the classic community acid world-deformation shaders, completely rebuilt to support modern graphics pipelines

Now fully updated to work on versions 1.18 all the way up to 26.2

Turn off "Use Block Face Culling" under performance settings, for a better experience

Warning: This shader causes heavy screen distortion and reality-bending waves. Play with caution if you easily get dizzy or nauseous

How to install Acid Shaders Refurbished

  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 Acid Shaders Refurbished 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.
