Chocapic13' Shaders

High quality/performance ratio shaderpack scaling to a large range of hardware configurations.

Unlike many lightweight shaderpacks, this one tries to maintain a decent quality level even at the lowest possible preset. The high-end presets are able to run at around 80-100 fps, and over 120 on a simple scene on a mid range gpu like the RX 570 or the GTX 1060 while offering high quality visuals.

Features (V9)

• 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 !

Installation

Shaders should work as long as Optifine is updated indepently of the MC version.

• Download and install Optifine
• Download the shaderpack
• Launch Minecraft
• Open Options, Video Settings, Shaders, Shaderpack Folder
• Put the shaderpacks (presets into zipped file) inside .minecraft\shaderpacks
• Select the shader in the shader list

Requirements and known issues

• Use the latest available graphic driver
• Requires at least 500 pixels on each axis on the target resolution to work properly
• Leave Shadow quality to 1.00x in optifine menu, and use the shader options to change shadow resolution.
• Set sky to On in optifine settings
• Set "Old lighting" to Off or Default
• Ressourcepack custom sky is usually not supported - Mods may work or not work and I won't work on mod compatibility
• Connected overlay texture have issues when under water

About the different versions

• V6 should run on every minecraft version
• V7, V8 and V9 requires at least Optifine for 1.12
• There is no in-game options in order to switch between presets because each preset has specific optimizations that can't be enabled with the current shader option API Donations:

• If you want to support me making this shader (and can afford it) you can do a small donation which is always highly appreciated ! :)
• There's no super fancy "premium only" raytraced stuff planned for the future because i want this shader to be available to everyone, you don't earn anything by donating
