Description from the author on Modrinth

Aerosol is a very minimal shader that improves visuals with

  • Sharp shadows
  • Low cost reflections
  • Custom sky and fog
  • Basic subsurface scattering
  • Basic filtering (exponential tonemapping, gamma correction, purkinje effect)

Written by skotah. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.

How to install Aerosol

  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 Aerosol 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.
