Archangel Shader (Chocapic13' Shader Edit)

Archangel Shader (Chocapic13 Shaders edit)

Archangel Shader by RaiMe1074 is an edit of Chocapic13's Shaders V9 Extreme for Iris / OptiFine. It keeps Chocapic13's solid foundation and adds a living sky, dynamic weather, seasons and a fully reorganised settings menu.

This is an early release, so please be kind and report any bugs you find!

✨ Features

☁️ Sky & Atmosphere

• Volumetric clouds with cumulus and altostratus layers, cloud shadows and adjustable coverage
• Daily weather cycle that changes the sky day by day
• Volumetric fog with time-of-day density, biome-specific fog, rain fog and cave fog
• Customisable sky scattering, Purkinje effect, stars and "The Orb" sky object
• Detailed moon with phases, earthshine, glow and crater relief

🍂 Seasons & Climate

• Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring colour palettes
• Adjustable season length and starting season
• Optional snow during winter, plus puddles when it rains

💡 Lighting & Shadows

• Shadows with contact shadows and variable penumbra filtering
• Ambient occlusion and screen-space global illumination
• Sub-surface scattering (hardcoded and LabSSS)
• Customisable torch colours, hand-held light and emissives

🌊 Water

• Water reflections (sun/moon, sky/fog and screen-space)
• Refraction in water and glass
• Adjustable water absorption and dirt (murk) colours
• Vanilla-like water option

🧱 LabPBR Support

• Specular reflections and screen-space reflections
• Parallax Occlusion Mapping (POM)
• Puddles, emissives and sub-surface scattering from LabPBR resource packs

🎬 Post Processing

🌌 Other Dimensions

🛠️ Settings Menu

• Fully reorganised, with every option grouped into clear categories
• Available in English and Tiếng Việt

📋 Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition
• Iris (recommended) or OptiFine
