Description from the author on Modrinth

This resourcepack requires the snapshot version 25w44a or anything above such as release 1.21.11 of Minecraft to run

This resourcepack uses shaders to change and improve some small things about chunk rendering

Firstly, it adds transparency using dithering to chunks, especially at the fog transition. This allows the chunks to fade into the fog completely and not just changing color.

In Addition, it adds better animations to chunks while fading into view to make the transition less harsh. There are multiple effects like transparency, movement and sclae available. Each of them can be easily customized and layered ontop of the other ones to create even better animations!

The config can be found at assets/minecraft/shaders/include/chunk_effects.glsl

How to install Chunk Tweaks

  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 Chunk Tweaks 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.
