Minecraft Shaders

Shaders make atmosphere of minecraft beautiful and realistic by modifying an ordinary view of several details of game, such as sun rays, grass, water. Choose the one you like from our website and enjoy the different look of minecraft. When the concept of Minecraft shaders was first introduced, it didn't have all the crazy graphical upgrades most packs have today. Instead, it focused on just upgrading the lighting and general look without taking away from the classic look of the game. This is why the Nostalgia Shader pack is perfect. Find your preferred Shaders (Epic choices will be provided below) Download the Shaders (it should download as a Zip file or a Winrar file if you have Winrar) Open up Minecraft on your Optifine profile, then open options once at the main menu. Go to Options Video Settings Shaders and then select ‘Shaders Folder’ on the bottom left. Official website for Sildur's Shaders. But what are Sildur's shaders? Sildur's Shaders is an extension of the GLSL shader mod for Minecraft, now part of Optifine. Vibrant shaders completly revamps the lighting system of minecraft and adds advanced effects like volumetric lighting, bloom, ambient occlusion and reflections.

Continuum 2.1 is the natural evolution of Continuum 2.0. It comes with a further refined and optimized code-base, with which we are able to push effects not seen in most ‘AAA’ titles, with better performance than ever before. Continuum 2.1 is designed to suite the needs of cinematic creators, builders, and general Minecraft players alike, while still offering many advanced tools and features you’d only find in modern rendering engines. Continuum 2.1 is currently only available via our Continuum Early Access package, which you can find in the store, however, once it exits Early Access it will see a full free release, much like 2.0 did.

Continuum 2.1 is designed in two stages; the lighting stage, and the toning stage. In the lighting stage we do our best to assure proper energy by rendering with real measured values. Coming with a physically based Sky, Material System, Ambient Light, Reflections, and Volumetrics (Clouds, Air and Water); Continuum can make any Minecraft build look like it was exported from offline renderers, but in real time*.

*Performance will vary depending on your hardware configuration. Continuum is optimized, but some of the effects being used are quite expensive regardless.

Continuum 2.1 comes equipped with a physically based camera system. This means that we are simulating a raw camera inside the game. Using common values such as Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, and Exposure, the user can line up the perfect screenshot, just like you would with a camera, but in Minecraft!

Continuum 2.1 will offer a highly intuitive and configurable color grading system. Everything down to the tonemap will be configurable, with options to adjust the toe, slope, and shoulder of the tonemap, the user can truly make the shader their own. Other settings will include White Balance, Contrast, Vibrance, Saturation, Gain, and many more, making adjustments is easy and convenient. However, if that isn’t enough for your needs, we will allow you to upload a custom LUT into the shader just to make sure we offer anything a cinematographer would need.

Want Continuum 2.1 now? Consider Continuum Early Access!

Continuum Early Access

Continuum Early Access is a one time purchase that grants access to the currently in development shader, Continuum 2.1, at each of the following stages of development:

ALPHA

Alpha Builds are the latest builds of the shader. These will give you access to what the devs are working on as they are working on it. They may be a bit more buggy than other builds at times.

Current Status is late Alpha/near beta

BETA

Beta Builds are released when we have reached a significant milestone where the shader is in mostly working order, and is considered by the developers to be ‘feature complete’.

RC

Release Candidates are nearly complete versions of the shader, generally far more stable than any of the others. These builds are nearly fully featured and are just lacking that last bit of polish.

Continuum Early Access will grant you access to Continuum 2.1 and potential future versions of the mainline, non-RT Continuum Shader while they are still in active development. This allows you to play with the absolute latest stuff we are working on as we are working on it.

It also supports the projects continued development, and us, which we appreciate very much.

Continuum 2.0

Much like Continuum 2.1 is the natural evolution of Continuum 2.0, 2.0 is the natural evolution of 1.3. It boasts a completely new codebase, marking the first time a Continuum shader was not based on SEUS code. It was a landmark release for Continuum Graphics, and while it has it's issues, will always be special to us.

Continuum 1.3

Continuum 1.3 was the pinnacle of what the Continuum team could do within the bounds of old SEUS O3 shader code, and despite it being fairly outdated by modern Minecraft shader standards, is still a favorite of many of our fans to this day. It will live on in spirit and overall feel, but be brought into the modern age with the release of Continuum Legacy.

You can find downloads for our previous/free releases of Continuum on our downloads page:

Shaders are used to enhance your gameplay experience in Minecraft by making the environment more realistic. It may look intensive on the computer, but it is possible to adjust the shaders to fit your computer specifications to get the same experience.

  • Installation Guide

To start off, why should we use shaders? Take a look at these two comparisons. The left has no shaders while the right has the shaders we will install in this demonstration.

OptiFine Installation

1. You will need OptiFine to use shaders. Check the version of Minecraft: Java Edition you are playing on. To figure this out, launch up the Minecraft Launcher and look at the bottom left next to the 'PLAY' button. In this demonstration, we are on the 1.16.3 version.

2. Head over to https://optifine.net/downloads To view more versions, click on 'Show all versions'. Since we are on 1.16.3 version, we will be using Minecraft Optifine1.16.3 HD U G4, which is the latest and stable version as of November 2nd, 2020. Click '(Mirror)' and finally 'Download'.

The reason for clicking '(Mirror)' instead of 'Download' is because it skips a URL shortener that is infested with ads that we do not want to click.

Do NOT click on any ads if presented. The only buttons that you should click are the ones in the images shown below.


Your browser/anti-virus may not allow the file to download and it will show like this if you're using Google Chrome browser. The reason for this message is because executable .jar files can be used to execute viruses. However in this case, Optifine is perfectly fine to use as it is not harmful so long as you are downloading from the official website, which is the one we are using. Click 'Keep' to finalize the download.

3. Run the 'OptiFine_1.16.3_HD_U_G4.jar' file by double-clicking it.

4. The default folder should be where your Minecraft is located and it finds it automatically so we do not have an extra step. However if it does not find it, click on the '...' and locate it. Click 'Install' to proceed.

Congratulations! You've successfully installed Optifine and the installer will automatically close.

5. If your Minecraft Launcher is previously open from Step 1 exit it and launch it again.

You will notice that there is an additional option called OptiFine that has replaced the latest release. If you do not see it, click on the dropdown menu and select the OptiFine version with their logo.

6. Click 'PLAY' and wait for Minecraft to launch.

Getting and Installing Shaders

1. The go-to website for legitimate shaders is through CurseForge located here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization.

There are many different shaders and it is up to you which shaders you prefer through experimentation. For this example we will be using BSL Shaders located here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/customization/bsl-shaders

2. Click 'Download' and after 5 seconds, it will automatically download.

3. Go back to Minecraft that was loaded previously on step 6 of the OptiFine installation section and click 'Options...'

Here we will click on 'Video Settings...'

Then we will click on 'Shaders...'

1.15.2

And finally, we will click on 'Shaders Folder' to be directed to the folder where we will install the shader in.

4. With the shader folder open, we will drag the shader we previously downloaded into the folder.

5. Go back to your Minecraft and we will see that our shader has successfully been installed. The last step is to click on it to use it.

Congratulations! You've installed your very first shaders. After the shaders has successfully loaded, go back to the main screen and load up a world or join a multiplayer server.
