my caustics used to appear on water surface, and that's bad.

introducing... caustic on underwater surface! (yep, 100% better )

lighting is updated a bit too, what do you think?

*before : above - after : below

dirty lens is getting an update! it will be mostly bloom based, greatly reduced noise and added 25 circles (with random-ish position and size)

CAN YOU MAKE THE LINING OF THE BLOCKS WHITE? Like when you mouse over a block a line will appear right? It's like a pattern to see that you're looking at the block straight? C'mon you know what I mean.

sure, will add it to my to-do list (might want to add it with even more colors :D)

also, i'm adding horizon clouds. it will be enabled by default in high

in v53, shadows will appear in semi-transparent surfaces. unlike some few other shaders (such as KUDA), this doesn't use forward rendering. and, this only works on stained glass, ice, slime block, and not on water since it brings some issues.

*the shadow looks checkered because the method i use. however, if you zoom it to 100% you can see the checker size is only one pixel and hardly noticable (unless your eye focus on it).

So, i'm still working with v53 beta, and i'll release the new beta dev in a few days.

here's what i've done for now:

1. I added gbuffers_cloud, so the vanila cloud is seperated from particles. Now, the cloud looks like how it is in v42. I'm doing this because someone changed from v52/53 to v42 (it hurts xD), and they enable vanila cloud. Also, i suspect that sometimes the cloud goes black which is not good. I know some people miss this.

2. Less bright pink at sunrise/sunset, which causes more orange around the sky and make it overall better.

3. New alternative sky color, which enabled in realism preset (rather than using vanila sky).

4. New lens flare, which is based on old shader's (Chocapic's v3, Rudo, etc.) lens flare. It brings back my memory when the first time i'm using shaders. Note : i'm not planning to make a 100% exact copy, and anamorphic lens from my older version still exists with some tweaks.

Also, thanks for xemnes for the edited vl color code, but i can't implement it right now, since vl doesn't work anymore with my gpu somehow so i disabled the option to enable it (rather than removing it, which requires me to do more work when re-adding it.).

chocapic13 mind if I can use your Shaderpack for modifications

im not really good with coding but I still want to experience it

i want to ask because I want to optimize it & to make sure so that I may have a permission

You can freely modify his shader for personal use.

look at that carefully placed stained glass. i placed bedrock because why not. fyi resourcepack is dokucraft.
v52 won't recieve more patch, since v53 will be available soon. i recently tried to do something with stained glass and colored shadows. here's what i managed to do:
also, we got volumetric light, thanks to Robobo1221
godrays and vl can't be enabled together, but it might be fixed later (or not)
i will release a preview as soon as i can

hi

Chocapic13 can I make a shader from your old shader and post it on mcforum.net?...

Quote from RayyanFairuzZahri»

same thing

please just say it once, no need to make 3 replies.

which old version do you mean?
if it's v4 and up, it's probably fine. but if it's v3 (which is based on old SEUS), you SHOULD NOT(because some shaders based on v3 are "banned", such as paolo's shaders, or y shaders.)

from chocapic's rules :

-You cannot use any version older than "Chocapic13' Shaders V4" as a base, however you can modify older versions for personal use

Quote from xemnes»

another feature request for future versions, could we see volumetric light to replace godrays? from what i understand, its much more acurate and doesnt require you to look at the light source for the effect to be seen like godrays. plus it makes indoor scenes much more beautiful without having to look directly at a window. it could also be implemented underwater to compliment the caustics youre working on, something like this for instance:

I hardly want to implement VL for now, since i tried to implement it once and it rips my fps (below 10 i remember)
Also, realistic caustics is not easy for me. The math might be complicated.

Experimenting with better water

It works like Better Snow, the fence is rendered combined with water if there are any water blocks around it.

Is it any good? Which blocks should be affected?

it's good
probably need to affect iron bars, slabs, stairs.
might need to affect carpet, trapdoors, pressure plate.

Hey you! Since you made it here, yes this is an official source for my shaders. Beware of fishy "shader websites". Also be sure to check this thread every now and then for updates and news! (Or Twitter, Facebook)

What is "Sildurs shaders"?
It's various shaderpacks for optifine with it's inbuild shadersmod. The goal is to create performance friendly shaders that run on any system, while still offering great visuals. The most lightweight shaderpack being enhanced default. They are also highly customizable using the available ingame shader options. So be sure to check them out!

Vibrant shaders features:

(Latest update: August 8th, 2022)

- Pretty much everything, it's my main pack. It also has alot of ingame options, so be sure to check them out.

Lite and medium preset should be used on Macs, Intel gpus and low end gpus. While high and extreme should be fine on most modern gpus.

Enhanced Default features:

(Latest update: August 8th, 2022)

- Full support for default minecraft, meaning things like night vision work fine!
- Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA), Shadows, colored shadows, underwater shadows, godrays, bump and parallax mapping, reflections, cel-shading, color boost, crossprocess(color filer), tonemapping, motionblur, depth of field and distance blur, all while still maintaing a very vanilla like look.
Everything listed above can be tweaked ingame, so be sure to check out those shader options!

Shaderpack using Mojangs inbuild shader function, supported version: 1.16.1

Fabulous shaders for 1.16.5:
(Latest update: June 28, 2020)
- This is a shaderpack using the inbuild mojang shader functions. It requires the fabulous shader option to be turned on.
- Features: Antialiasing, Bloom, Celshading, Depth of Field, Tonemapping and ported mojang shaders Bumpy and Blobs.

These are some of the best shaders I've ever used and I do a lot of comparison. What I like about these is the amount of flexibility there is to customize the light levels both during the day and for night (with torch level), I hate the way most shaders treat night and interiors, BSL rocks! The colors are really nice as well as the shadows and the sky treatments.

I have two small requests, if you ever think of adding more tweaks (maybe for the 1.11 update?) -

1) In the water color section, would it be possible to get a selection that is between the Classic and the Clear settings? I love the clear but I do need to have some color for some of the photography I do in MC, but the Classic is too saturated for some things. Anyway, just hoping you might be able to provide a tweak at some point if possible.

2) Is it possible to add an "Ambient Light" setting for nighttime, something that would just boost the ambient light level across the board when the game is in nighttime? That may not be doable, but if there was a setting that affected ambient light level in general, I could make use of that in nighttime scenes and switch it off for daytime, but I'm sure that's a lot of work for something not a lot of people would want.

Anyway, even if you don't do these suggestions, I really hope you maintain the shaders for future Minecraft updates 'cause I LOVE these, they are currently the only shader pack I use! Excellent work, thank you for providing them!
