Chocapic13 Shaders Mod (1.21.3, 1.20.1) – Special Kind of Shader
Chocapic13 Shaders Mod (1.21.3, 1.20.1) is a mod that dramatically improves the graphics of Minecraft. As its name suggests, its main function is to add dynamic shadows (shaders in English), a pleasing effect of wind on the leaves, real sunshine and better water modeled before. Shaders have several different versions, all more or less resource-intensive.
Features:
- Dynamic Time of Day cycle.
- Physically plausible High Dynamic Range lighting system.
- Shadows with variable penumbra size.
- Variable density volumetric fog with shadows.
- Volumetric clouds.
- Water shader with water fog, reflections, caustics and refractions.
- Screen Space Global Illumination (SSGI).
- High quality Temporal Anti-aliasing and upscaling (TAA / TAAU).
- Custom Nether and End with biome support.
- Bloom.
- Depth of Field.
- Contrast-adaptative sharpening filter.
- Wavy plants.
- … and much more.

About performance and sytem requirements:
This mod is very demanding and if you can’t run default minecraft correctly, don’t try to install this mod.
In my case with a GTX 670 i get around 50-60 fps with the extreme version, 75-80 with ultra,90-95 with high, 100-110 with medium and above 150 with low (cpu limited here) with a 16 chunks render distance. This can change a lot depending on the situation.
Advanced tips:
- Into the shaderpack folders there are .fsh and .vsh files. You can open them with any text editor, and there are different constant that you can change by yourself.
- You can increase the render resolution into the shaderpack settings. x1.42… correspond to SSAA x2, x2.0 to SSAA x4. However it kills the framerate.
- Shadow render resolution can be increased too here.
Chocapic13′ High Performance Shaders Version:
The goal of this shaderpack is to have the core features of a shaderpack while maintaining extremely high framerates. For example on the Toaster Preset at 8 render distance, a RX 480 is completely CPU-limited at around 300-400fps with a Ryzen 7, it can also run at around 50-60fps on an integrated Intel HD620. It features: Shadows, Dynamic Time of Day, Custom sky gradient, Sun/moon glow, Customized nether and end.
