Description

a fork of Lethal Shaders used in my modpack, ONWARD.

ONWARD Shader is a fork of Lethal Shaders which adds shadows, reflections, godrays, etc. all whilst maintaining a pixelated, retro look.

✨ main features

  • pixelated shadows inspired by Vibrant Visuals
  • water reflections (SSR) with adjustable quality
  • godrays and atmosphere effects to enhance your world's look
  • all can be tweaked and toggled to your liking

⚙️ presets

  • Ultra Performance – optimised for much lower-end systems
  • Performance – like Balanced, except much lower fidelity
  • Balanced – the default experience; should run well on most mid-range systems
  • Quality – all settings enabled for the highest fidelity experience

📦 usage

this shader comes bundled in my modpack ONWARD, but is also available standalone for ease of access.
