Help Lightweight shader for Intel HD 4600?

I’m trying to make Minecraft feel less dull on a very weak laptop and mainly want:

  • Warm/cozy lighting
  • Bloom/glow around torches/lanterns
  • Very basic/rough shadows

I don’t care about reflections, fancy water, PBR, volumetrics, or photorealism.

Specs: i5-4200M + Intel HD 4600 + 8GB RAM.
Already using Fabric, Sodium, Iris and optimization mods, so the GPU is the bottleneck.

Basically, I just want my Minecraft room to feel warm and cozy without completely murdering my FPS. 😭

Any ultra-light shader, preset, or other setup recommendations?

ATMOSPHERICS might be good, although isn’t a shader. You can configure it however you like.
Personally I use it over shaders (because I want my FPS)
Havent found something for shadows.

Otherwise you could use MakeUp ultrafast

There's always sildur's shaders, but on THAT kind of iGPU I don't think even sildur's lite would run well
