Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 26.1.1–26.1.2 · Iris⬇ Download for 1.20.2–26.1 · Iris⬇ Download for 26.1.1–26.1.2 · OptiFine⬇ Download for 1.20.2–26.1 · OptiFine
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

With simple lighting and no shadows, this shader is designed specifically for low-end hardware, “potato” PCs, and players who value high FPS above all else.


This shader focuses on performance first, delivering a lightweight visual upgrade over vanilla without the heavy resource cost of traditional shaders.

Features include: enhanced lighting, subtle atmospheric improvements, improved sky/weather visuals, and small color enhancements while maintaining smooth gameplay even on slower systems. By avoiding expensive effects like dynamic shadows, reflections, volumetric lighting, and other demanding features, this shader keeps frame rates high and input responsive.

This pack aims to make Minecraft look cleaner and more vibrant while staying optimized for older laptops, integrated graphics, and budget hardware. If you want the feel of a shader without sacrificing performance, this pack is built for you.
