Shaders for Mac?
I have no idea if shaders woron on Mac, I myself am on MacBook Air and i use Yosemite (can't be bothered to update). I've been trying to get shaders for a while now but I think they're not made for Mac. Is this true?

Intel GPUs don't support shaders very well (as in compatibility is extremely hit-and-miss). Even if you can get them to work, you won't get playable performance.
I have a custom windows PC, and shaders barely work on it. I get maybe 10 Fps max. Your mac may support them, but in my experience using macs, they never have great GPUs allthough I have gotten lite shaderpacks working on macs before. Sonic Ether's will not work on a mac, but many other packs will. However, you will only get around 5-10 fps.
Why wouldn't shaders work on a Mac if it's all Java-based?
I am able to run shaders on my mac. It too use a macbook. However, they are very low quality and laggy, and it took me an eternity to get it working, so I would suggest that if you want to make pictures and such, you use chunky instead. It takes longer, but ends up much nicer than screenshots.
Same. Been trying for a few months now, always get these weird messages when I load a world and the picture only appears in the bottom left corner and it's in green and red (I think)
Shaders started for windows, but the only purpose if it was made for MAC would be pictures, instead of recording.
