Satin API Mod for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.19.2
A Fabric library to help modders with shader usage
Fabric
QuiltAbout the Satin API mod
Satin is a simple library allowing modders to add interesting graphical effects to their mods. Its main feature is to significantly simplify the use of Minecraft's data-driven shader system (that is, the one used by super secret settings, mob vision, and spectral arrows).
A full feature list with installation instructions is available on the github repository : https://github.com/Ladysnake/Satin/
You can find documentation for the shader format on the wiki : https://github.com/Ladysnake/Satin/wiki/Data-driven-shaders
FAQ
Can it replace Optifine ?
No. Optifine shaders are significantly more complex than what this library allows. For a work-in-progress alternative, see the Canvas Renderer project.
Can it bring back Super Secret Settings ?
Satin is just a library, so it does not add any content by itself. You may however be interested in Secrets No More, a mod using Satin to do exactly that !
Does this library have a Forge version ?
No, and I do not want to port it myself. I will however support anyone who does so. Also note that the documentation for the shader format stays applicable regardless of the mod loader being used.
How to install Satin API
With Millida Launcher
Install Millida Launcher
The launcher is free: download it at millida.net/launcher and sign in with any nickname.
Click “Install” on this page
The launcher opens and installs the mod for Minecraft 1.19.2–1.21.4 on Fabric or Quilt automatically.
Launch the game
A profile with it appears in the launcher: click “Play”.
Manually
Install Fabric or Quilt
The loader must match the game version of the mod file, for example Minecraft 1.21.4. After installing it, a separate profile appears in your launcher.
Download the file for your version
In the version list above, pick the file satin-3.0.0-alpha.1.jar (97 KB) for your game version and loader.
Put it in the mods folder
The folder is inside .minecraft (Windows: %appdata%\.minecraft\mods). If it does not exist, create it.
Launch the loader profile
Open “Mods” in the main menu: Satin API should be in the list.
Satin API works on the player’s side only: there is no need to install it on a server.
Minecraft 1.21.4 runs on Java 21: with a different Java version the game may close right after launch.
