Neoforge Shaders Base
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
A small modpack with just enough mods to get shaders up and running.
Adds Emedium and Rubidium (for performance enhancements), Euporia patches (so you can tweak shaders to your liking), NeOculus (to enable optifine shaders), and Complentary Shaders (the shader pack itself), Faithful 64/32x (HD textures, enable in resource packs), and Fresh animations (Gives mobs and playes more expressive animations), otherwise this modpack leaves the game vanilla.
You will need a Raytracing capable graphics card to use this pack.
You can merge this with other mod packs to add shader support.
How to merge (Curseforge app):
- Install modpack
- Click on 3 dots > Open folder
- Go to mods folder
- Select all and copy (Make sure to copy, not cut)
- Open folder on modpack you want to merge with
- Paste (and replace if it asks you)
- Refresh pack in curseforge
- Profit
Note: some mods (such as create) can cause performance issues when used with this pack. Push K to disable shaders.
