Catnip Shaders
This is my definitive way on how Minecraft should look. Free Minecraft Java shader for 1.18, 1.18.1, 1.18.2.
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.

But what about Kiwi Shader?
This Shader is basically a KiwiShader V2. I rewrote it because i wanted something way different but with the same goal, to make my Version of Minecraft.
This Shader uses code from https://modrinth.com/shader/better-end-portal-shader for the end Portal.
