The Minecraft Fabric ShaderAPI Mod streamlines the process of delivering shaderpacks to players by enabling servers to automatically download and apply shaders via a simple plugin or mod. Whether you're running a server on Fabric or looking to integrate shader functionality into your PaperMC setup, our API offers a seamless solution. Additionally, we provide an example plugin, which can be used as a standalone PaperMC plugin or serve as inspiration for custom implementations.
