SHINE
Java modpack listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on ModrinthIm busy with school right now this pack is very early release. Unlike my Bare Neccessities pack this one will be actively developed.
The pack attempts to mimick the effects of having a shaderpack enabled without shaders. This project is inspired by my tests revealing that it should perform better and has better compatability with more devices.
The pack makes many sacrifices including performance and mod compatability, I am actively looking for the most performant and compatable options.
Current features: Dynamic lighting. Immersive weather. Optimized cloud, fog, biome colours, bloom and more effects. Godrays. Physics affected foliage. Photorealistic celestial bodies. Faked water caustics.
Actively searched for features: Lighting system rewrite; one of the main features of shaders is accurate shadows, but finding compatable mods or resource packs that rewrite the lighting engine this way is very hard. Wavey floiage and water; another common shader pack feature that adds randomized movement to things like leaves. I do know of some resoure packs that do this but for some reason I can't figure out how to make them work in the pack. Physics Mod and Physics Mod Pro provide the most accurate of these features but are very performance heavy.
Planned features: Anything you have ever seen in a shaderpack.
DISCLAIMER: Some people do not like AI generated content. I ussually ignore AI but this projects name/acronym was created with assistance from Claude AI. I have no control over this but the resource pack Visual Effects+ also had assistance in code troubleshooting.
If you have issues recommendations questions or anything of the sort, DM on Discord at PickleJarGuy.
Liscense: I don't care what you do with the pack so long as it is approved by Minecraft, the original content authors, local laws, the server you use it on etc. guidelines. I have not officially confirmed use of all these mods in this pack but I will work on it.
