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!

(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.

Quote from Tyyni»

Ok, so I need help. I cannot find in game settings for this shader and so I'm assuming I need to edit a file. There are screen effects during rain that I would like to disable. If anyone can provide assistance on what to look for that would be greatly appreciated. (I'm using Fabric & Iris)

Everything can be found inside the shaderpack zip file in shaders.settings, adding two slashes infront of a #define disables it. Like //#define Bloom.

Enhanced Default v1.13 and Vibrant shaders v1.31 are out now for everyone! Vibrant shaders got a hotfix for world borders.

Hi,

I tried downloading the driver from Intel's website but it gave me an error. "the driver being installed is not validated for this computer"

My laptop is a ASUS ZenBook Flip 14 UX461UA, so I tried downloading drivers from ASUS' website but that also did not work. Here is the link that I used from ASUS' website: https://www.asus.com/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS-ZenBook-Flip-14-UX461UA/HelpDesk_Download/

Hi guys, please help me with this problem!

These white blocks hurt your eyes very much.

Might be a mod issue, check if it happens with just optifine.

Hey Sildur, just want to, again, say thank you for the beautiful shaders throughout these many years. Thank you.
They have been a part of my Minecraft-ing since at least 2014. So, it's a small comfort to see them still worked on and have them in the newest version of minecraft.

Also, thank you for adding the smooth transition to the depth of feild. It's wonderful.

Hope things are well for you and continue to be so. Thank you again.

The shaderpack has moved to CurseForge !

Old Post :

Hey Sildur, I’d like to make some feature requests/suggestions, if that's alright.
I think some of this has been mentioned/asked before, but I’d like to suggest it again.

I like playing with the Depth-of-Field effect on because, well, it adds a sense of depth. But a small issue crops up when mining. The tools’ animation goes in front of the crosshair which causes the focus to rapidly go in and out of focus as you mine. So, I was wondering if you could you add a sort of smoothing to the focus change. This also could just be an all-around nice effect. It would be nice if the speed or amount of smoothing could be adjusted in the shader options.

I also like to play with the Distance Blur on, as it makes for a nice distance fog substitute (which is not present on the Vibrant Shaders). But one downside of using the Distance Blur option is you lose the changing focus that the normal DoF affect has, and thus some of the sense of depth you get for things that are close. You still get the sense of far away things being far, but you lose the effect of close things being close, if that makes sense. So, I was wondering if you could also add an option for the Distance Blur affect to behave like the DoF effect, in that when you look at things close to you, the distance blur also moves closer to you.

Thirdly, I was wondering if it was easily possible to make the sky come into focus when you look at it when using the Distance Blur affect. Some texture/resource packs have some really nice skies, and it would just be nice to be able to see them occasionally when using the distance blur. Maybe the distance blur effect reduces in amount depending on how far up into the sky you’re looking, so as not to just jump from being out of focus to being in focus (probably easier said than done).
(Side Note: Discovered the amount of blur is affected by the render distance, or at least the "Blur view distance" is. When the render distance is on the higher end, the sky is very blurry.)

Lastly, I’d like to ask if you could add some quality variables or options for the DoF effect in the Enhanced Default Shader. Right now, the effect looks a bit more like a smear, which I understand is probably far less “expensive”. But, If a system has the performance, It might be nice to have some options that would allow you to choose the amount of “fragments” and/or how many arms/directions there are in the blur, thus the quality (if I’m understanding it right or if it’s even a thing).



TL;DR :
------------------------------
- A smooth transition between focus points for the DoF effect.
- A dynamic "blur view distance" option for Distance Blur.
- An ability for the sky to be in focus when looking at it using Distance Blur.
- A quality option for the DoF effect in Enhanced Default.

Thank you for your wonderful shaders and the time and effort you’ve put into them as well as your patience and support. I’ve been using your shaders for years (like 5+), and they have become standard shaders of mine. I very much appreciate it. They add quite a bit to the Minecraft experience. Thank you again.

Glad to see, that you are keep on working on your shader, sildur

Beste Grüße

Hi Sildur, your shaders are the best I have seen so far! Thanks so much for making them and keeping them alive. I used to use SEUS, but now I switched to yours due to the considerably better performance and update reliability.

I have some suggestions for making them even better:

• Add distance fog that only starts at an adjustable distance from the player without fogging closer areas. This could be used to hide the rendering border, as new chunks would appear in the fogged area (as implemented in Minecraft Bedrock by default). This would be a more "natural" effect than the existing distance blur.
• When it rains, there is fog inside buildings. This should only be visible where the rain actually is.
• Make stars invisible below the horizon. Currently they are visible below the sea level if the render distance is very small. I switched to the default Minecraft sky as a workaround.
• Make the stars a bit smaller/darker and less prominent.
• Make water movement dependent on the water size. Small water volumes like puddles or aquariums should hardly move at all, while the sea should have bigger waves than a lake.
• Make underwater blocks slightly blurred when viewed from above the surface (I really liked that feature with SEUS).
• Make god rays from the moon weaker than those from the sun (or separately adjustable). Currently they appear too prominent, even at the lowest setting.
• Add some reflections on clear glass (as present on stained glass).
• Fix a bug that sometimes makes pixels of white light appear at block edges when mining in the darkness underground (not sure whether this is shader-related though).

Kind regards,

Joerg

Hey SIldur! Just want to thank you for the great shader and the work you've put into it.


Thank you!

Wow! I have two words for that: Freakin'. And, uh, what's the other word? Oh yeah, Awesome!

Thanks for all your good work!

Hope you make a website to post your shaders downloads in the future! They're pretty awesome.

Hey, Sildur !

I just wanted to drop by and thank your for providing your amazing shaders to the

Minecraft community and also for maintaining them up to date. Your shaders

are wonderful and help with my building creating a more realistic feel. I have

some pictures below if interested.

- Thank you, Sildur

Thank you for the reply Sildur. This shader is my all time favorite because it's so practical. It's so pleasing to the eye while maintaining my fps at 100+, giving me a higher fps threshold for my mods.
