Chocapic13 Shaders Mod (1.20.2, 1.19.4) – Special Kind of Shader

Chocapic13 Shaders Mod (1.20.2, 1.19.4) is a game modification designed to significantly enhance the visual quality of Minecraft. As its name implies, its primary purpose is to introduce dynamic shadows, referred to as shaders, along with the delightful effect of wind rustling through leaves, realistic sunlight, and improved water modeling. These shaders come in various versions, each with varying levels of resource demands, catering to a range of hardware capabilities.

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 the different versions:

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.
