Minecraft Shaders

 Welcome to the Minecraft Shaders Wiki, the best community-managed resource about Shaderpacks. It was created by the creator of the OptiFine mod on January 15, 2018 and it is managed by the community and developers of shader packs.

Shader Packs provide the ability to completely overhaul the visual appearance of the game Minecraft. The shader pack support relies on the mod OptiFine ever since it's creator, sp614x, merged the discontinued Shaders Mod by karyonix into OptiFine. Starting with OptiFine F2 for Minecraft 1.8.8 the shader pack support of OptiFine continuously received new features, which eventually got picked up by shader pack developers. This rendered the separate Shaders Mod not only obsolete but also incompatible with modern shader packs relying on these new features.
