Description
This is a very performant, lightweight shader that offers 4 modes; the shader is designed for capturing either a horror, rustic, or medieval aesthetic, so it pairs great with modpacks or resource packs that aim to achieve the same thing
Modes
Stylized vs Realistic: Stylized keeps the blocky pixely aesthetic of Minecraft intact, realistic makes shadows and clouds look more like real life (stylized performs slightly faster than realistic does, if you want to maximize performance)
Ultra vs Lite: Ultra costs more performance but looks better, lite is my super
optimized version of the shader that looks really great but still
delivers top notch performance
Manual Installation
1. Download the mod & unzip it
2. Install Iris
3. Put the file(s) found in the mod download into your "shaderpacks" folder (if it doesn't exist, create one)
4. Launch the game and enjoy!
Note: It's recommened to install manually so you can choose which exact version of the shader you want (Lite or Ultra, Stylized or Realistic). By default it will autoinstall the "Lite Stylized" version. If that is the version you want then disregard this message

Also be sure to check out my Fantasy Edition of this shader pack if you're not playing a horror modpack! For a more vibrant, bright aesthetic.
