🥒 PickleShade
v1.0.0. "First Brine"
A vanilla shaderpack built for low-end PCs.
Big looks, footprint. No shadowmaps, no TAA, no ray tracing. Clean classic GLSL that runs great even on potato GPUs.
✨ What you get
🪶 Why its fast
No shadowmaps to render no temporal effects, no heavy compute shaders. Every effect is a single lightweight fullscreen pass. On graphics or a 10-year-old GPU this is the shader that still keeps your FPS high.
🎛️ Your rules
13 adjustable settings in-game, under Shader Pack Settings. Wave speed & intensity bloom, exposure, saturation, contrast, color temperature, vignette. All apply instantly no restart needed.
📦 Compatibility
🚀 Install
Written by Bassbuilderjurre. 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 Pickle Shade 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.
