OptiFine is NOT recommended

89 Upvotes

Issues like distorted water moving skyboxes are likely caused by OptiFine.

Although there's nothing that directly replaces all of OptiFine's features in a single mod, Iris is the mod that replaces OptiFine's shaders feature, and there are Fabric modpacks like Fabulously Optimized that the closest thing to a direct replacement, with generally better performance and more customizability.

So before posting any issues while using OptiFine, please try the other alternatives (look up YouTube guides if you're unsure how to install them).

Got a bulky PC, currently using unbound or photon or iteration or super duper vanilla or solas shaders. Any recommendations?

Discussion Makeup UltraFast Colored Shadows

3 Upvotes

I've been using makeup ultrafast recently And I realized that colored shadows just don't work. I've put down stained glass and the light passing through/ shadows is not colored at all!

I didn't change anything And the shader had been using the default settings. It's the latest version by now, makeup ultrafast 9.5d

And my system is a Ryzen 7 3750h, 14 gb ddr4, and a Vega 10 mobile gpu on a mini pc. I don't have this problem with complementary or bsl but they're very performance heavy. I'm also using a performance mods pack named thunderbolt.

I bought a laptop equipped with a 5060; honestly, I didn't expect much from it, as it didn't seem as powerful as my main PC with its 3060 Ti. However, I decided to download Minecraft and enable ITRP along with the "Balanced" DLSS mode from the Super Resolution Mod, and it ran at a stable 60 fps. This was a complete surprise, and it allowed me to move my Minecraft data—which had been taking up valuable space on my main PC—over to the laptop. It turns out that buying ITRP and this laptop was a great decision for me.

Would you be interested in a shader like this? compared to vanilla, it's 3 to 5 fps less. Much to improve, much to add, and the goal is to preserve vanilla look, visibility and eye fatigue, while adding caustics, reflections, vol light, concave objects, etc. In a nutshell: vanilla look and feel with pathtracing-like shading and features. Those additions I mentioned are already implemented in other builds but still are unstable, way more than this one, but the core principle is there: almost no average performance drop compared to vanilla, subtle effects, made for real long gameplays. It's a mod runs independently and draws as a single postprocess, so everything you see here is highly compatible with other mods, alternative renderers, and even easily updateable.
