Chocapic13’s Shaders mod is the baseline for many other shader mods out there, as you can learn just from checking a number of shader pack pages in places like Minecraft Forum. It is highly popular among shader pack developers because it is easy to work with, and many of the simplest things have already been taken care of, which leaves those developers time to work on the large changes and modifications they want to make. Thanks to updates as recent as February of 2021, Chocapic13’s Shaders work great with Minecraft 1.19.x, and old versions.

Note:

  • Use the latest available graphic driver.
  • Requires at least 500 pixels on each axis on the target resolution to work properly.
  • Leave Shadow quality to 1.00x in the Optifine menu, and use the shader options to change shadow resolution.
  • Set sky to On in Optifine settings.
  • Set “Old lighting” to Off or Default.
  • Resource Packs with the custom sky are usually not supported.
  • Connected overlay texture has issues when underwater.
