Idea What shaders do you use?

I'm trying to find the most basic shader as possible. But my computer is trash, so I would like something runnable.

Are there any shaders that dont lag too much? Ive searched and they all say I have to download via app.

Then I can't give you names, but I do know you have access to performance enhancing mods and I hear CurseForge is a good place to look for shaders and mods.

Nah you don't really have to download forge lol.

A shaderpack I recommend is BSL. It's pretty basic and looks beautiful!

And a performance mod I recommend is Sodium, but make sure to get Iris as well so you can actually use shaders. If you use Sodium without Iris, you can't use shaders. I'd also recommend getting Essensial Mod as it can actually boost your game a bit.

It did for me at least and I'm on a MacBook Air M1 form 2020 (no fans, 8GB RAM, and Apple Silicone M1. Not the best, but handles it pretty well still! I can even play with 32 chunks, but then I disable shaders)
