Chocapic13 Shaders Mod (1.21.4, 1.20.1) – Special Kind of Shader

Chocapic13 Shaders Mod (1.21.4, 1.20.1) is a mod that dramatically improves the graphics of Minecraft. As its name suggests, its main function is to add dynamic shadows (shaders in English), a pleasing effect of wind on the leaves, real sunshine and better water modeled before. Shaders have several different versions, all more or less resource-intensive.

Features:

• Dynamic Time of Day cycle.
• Physically plausible High Dynamic Range lighting system.
• Shadows with variable penumbra size.
• Variable density volumetric fog with shadows.
• Volumetric clouds.
• Water shader with water fog, reflections, caustics and refractions.
• Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI).
• High quality Temporal Anti-aliasing and upscaling (TAA / TAAU).
• Custom Nether and End with biome support.
• Bloom.
• Depth of Field.
• Contrast-adaptative sharpening filter.
• Wavy plants.
• … and much more.

About the different versions:

Optifine Settings:

• Old Lighting : OFF or DEFAULT!

• Clouds : Default or OFF

About performance and sytem requirements:

This mod is very demanding and if you can’t run default minecraft correctly, don’t try to install this mod.
In my case with a GTX 670 i get around 50-60 fps with the extreme version, 75-80 with ultra,90-95 with high, 100-110 with medium and above 150 with low (cpu limited here) with a 16 chunks render distance. This can change a lot depending on the situation.

Advanced tips:

• Into the shaderpack folders there are .fsh and .vsh files. You can open them with any text editor, and there are different constant that you can change by yourself.
• You can increase the render resolution into the shaderpack settings. x1.42… correspond to SSAA x2, x2.0 to SSAA x4. However it kills the framerate.
• Shadow render resolution can be increased too here.

Chocapic13′ High Performance Shaders Version:

The goal of this shaderpack is to have the core features of a shaderpack while maintaining extremely high framerates. For example on the Toaster Preset at 8 render distance, a RX 480 is completely CPU-limited at around 300-400fps with a Ryzen 7, it can also run at around 50-60fps on an integrated Intel HD620. It features: Shadows, Dynamic Time of Day, Custom sky gradient, Sun/moon glow, Customized nether and end.
