FAQ
What do I need to get shaders working?
Iris or OptiFine. Iris installs as a Fabric mod and is usually faster; OptiFine is a separate installer. Without one of them the game simply won't see the shader. Millida Launcher installs Iris along with the shader for you.
Which shaders run on a low-end PC?
Light packs without ray tracing and with low shadow resolution. They're marked in the catalog — they give you shadows and water while costing noticeably fewer frames.
How do I install shaders?
Click “Install” and Millida Launcher will put the shader into the shaderpacks folder of the right modpack. Then select the pack in the video settings — no need to unpack the archive.
Iris or OptiFine — which should I choose?
For new versions, Iris: it works with Sodium, usually gives more FPS and supports almost all modern shaders. OptiFine is needed on old versions and for packs that rely on its special features. The two cannot be installed in the same instance.
Are there shaders for Bedrock?
The shaders in this section are for the Java edition; their format does not work in Minecraft PE and Bedrock. Bedrock has a built-in Vibrant Visuals graphics mode and resource packs with deferred rendering support, which are turned on in the game settings.
Shaders for Minecraft Java
Shaders rewrite the game's lighting: you get soft shadows, volumetric sunlight, reflections on water and a real night instead of flat dusk. A shader on its own isn't a mod: it's a set of programs for your graphics card, run through a middleman — Iris or OptiFine. Iris installs as a Fabric mod and runs faster; OptiFine is a standalone installer that has been around the longest.
Iris works together with Sodium, so on the same machine it usually gives more frames, and new shaders come out for it first; OptiFine is chosen for old game versions and its own features such as connected textures. On a low-end PC start with packs from the For low-end PCs collection and lower the quality profile inside the shader, and leave heavy ray-traced packs to a powerful graphics card.
Beauty costs frames. Heavy ray-traced shaders can cut performance several times over even on a good graphics card, so the catalog separately marks light packs built for weak machines: they give you shadows and decent water while barely touching FPS. In practice: first install Iris or OptiFine, then put the shader archive in the shaderpacks folder and select it in the video settings. It's best to start with a light pack, and the quality profiles inside the shader itself lower the load even further.
