A performance-focused shaderpack - Polace seeks to provide dynamic lighting, vivid visuals, evocative nights, and improved water while being scalable across a variety of hardware.
Polace concentrates on maintaining atmosphere through better shadows, volumetric effects, enhanced skies, realistic water, and vivid color reproduction, in contrast to many lightweight shaderpacks that compromise visual quality. Please note, that it was built from scratch
Polace 1.1-beta released! There are only minor bugs left. I cant quite fix the transparent items, so it may be issue outside of the shaderpack.
UPCOMING CHANGES:
(Was tested on Minecraft 1.21.11 + Iris 1.10.7. The shaderpack should work on OptiFine and versions from 1.21.1 to 26.1.2)
Written by danylokhit. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Polace in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
