Vibrant shaders features:
(Latest update: June 17th, 2024)
- Pretty much everything, it's my main pack. It also has alot of ingame options, so be sure to check them out.
Lite and medium preset should be used on Macs, Intel gpus and low end gpus. While high and extreme should be fine on most modern gpus.
If you don't see rain reflections make sure optifine is up to date. Still nothing? Disable the biome check in the ingame options.
Enhanced Default features:
(Latest update: June 17th, 2024)
- Full support for default minecraft, meaning things like night vision work fine!
- Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA), Shadows, colored shadows, underwater shadows, godrays, bump and parallax mapping, reflections, cel-shading, color boost, crossprocess(color filer), tonemapping, motionblur, depth of field and distance blur, all while still maintaing a very vanilla like look.
Everything listed above can be tweaked ingame, so be sure to check out those shader options!

Good to see this here!

Yupp, gotta put that old planetminecraft account to use.

Glad you like it! Since minecraft forum goes read only mode I've started working on my own website aswell. Making sure that my shaders will always be available. It can be found here: https://sildurs-shaders.github.io/ Also linked it in the main post.

Actually I do have this very old banner a fan made for me years ago, I still use it over at mcforum.

Your PMC profile looks great! Thank you very much for adding my banner.

Hey, I love your shaders! Is the new home going to be on Planet Minecraft since Minecraft Forums are shutting down?

If PMC wants me ;) We will see what happens, either way my shaders will always be available on my on website: https://sildurs-shaders.github.io/

There is just now way that toasters will be able to run the Vibrant shaders. (I happen to have a toaster)
However, the Enhanced Default looks like something that can run, I just love the vanilla look of Minecraft.
If I will go into using shaders it will definitely be the Enhanced Default shader 10/10.

Yeah vibrant shaders is a very old pack, as in the base code is very old. It could be faster but that requires a rewrite from scratch, which will happen at some point.

Looks good on here :)! Keep it going.

Will do, next up is probably an enhanced default update to fully support 1.14.

Hey Sildur, absolutely loving your work with this shader pack! Not only does it look beautiful, it runs surprisingly well and has a bunch of graphical settings to tweak 😊
I do have a question however regarding water transparency. Is there a way I can tweak water beyond the in-game settings provided? ( colour/fog)
I find the water to be a little too clear for my liking, both from above and while swimming.
I'm currently running both the latest version of optifine for MC 1.14 and the latest vibrant extreme shaders.
Thanks again for your hard work 😊

Optifine released a new preview build now running 1.14.2! Click on the preview versions tab: optifine.net/downloads

You updated this so fast, great job dude <3 also it looks fantastic

The downloads on your webpage are not adware. Can you post a link with just the files instead of this? :evassmat.com/AFsY

Sent a PM your way, other downloads might be available once I managed to move all of my stuff to github. Might take awhile, I've been rather busy lately.

How do get the textures on the ores and bookshelves?

I was using default improved with parallax mapping enabled in my shaderpack for that.

Vibrant shaders v1.22 released!

Changelog:
- Added various ingame options to tweak lighting colors! Found in the colors section. (daytime only for now)
- Added an ingame option to tweak water alpha to the colors section.

- Added an ingame option to adjust the speed of all animations (waving grass etc) to the waving section.

- Expanded parallax mapping resolution option, now supports 1024 and 2048
- Minor code optimizations.

I've been having an issue with the Vibrant Shaders pack for a while now. I've had this issue in both the high and medium versions of you're pack. When leaves are moving, if they are against another block the space between the block and the leaves will be transparent (as seen here: imgur.com/a/BQKXQWE) I've tried your newest version for the vibrant shaders 1.22 and I still have this issue. Is there something in settings I can change to fix this issue?

Set leaves to fancy.

goooooooooooooooooooooooooood

This Shaders Pack looks really great! But I've never been able to work it properly (I'm guessing)
I'm working with a Windows 7 and I'm having a big feeling its the problem or I'm not doing it right. To simplify my question, which pack is better for a Windows 7? or is there a way to fix the problem I'm having?
it keeps either messing with my cows, glitching out the world,, or just make it all dark! all while there is no shade of any kind (but my grass moves) I've looked everywhere to fix the problem but they aren't that informative,so I'd love some kind of help ^^

Make sure optifine is up to date aswell as your gpu drivers.

Is there any way to get the sky working as inteded in other dimensions? Talking about mods such as twilight forest etc.

Nope, enhanced default is recommend for mods instead.

Is there a known problem with the download links on your website, or is my antivirus just flexing too hard? Every time I try to download I get this message …
This site can’t be reached The webpage at evassmat.com/XWck might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Any thoughts? I would love to use the pack it looks fantastic!

Yeah it's the antivirus, sent you a DM.

Im getting the same issue with my antivirus and not being able to access the website.
:(
:(

Weird, sent a DM your way.

I cant figure out how to download your Enhanced Default shaders. it just takes be to (Ad link removed) then to a website that wants me to turn on notifications (which im not doing). also, is there 1.12.2 version of ED?

To continue to the download page, that site normally wants you to turn on notifications in your browser. Just enable them, then once you get to the download page, disable them again. And yes, the changelog says that Enhanced Default v1.051 works with 1.12.

My antivirus is blocking the link as it contains trojans, any fix? Can you send me a direct DL link or use another website

sent you DM.

Hey, this is a video of me walking around my island with the cel shading on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuqTulsrdBU
or just take a look at an imgur gallery with a few screenshots here: https://imgur.com/gallery/23CgqlY
Great work! Your shaders are the best! They truly change the game, especially when paired with clear glass!
One question though, is it possible to disable the underwater effect? Just looking to take clearer screenshots at times.

You can disable underwater fog.

I like the fog, I meant the wavy visual effect that only happens underwater. I'm not sure what to call it. Sorry, I could have been more clear with my first comment.

Hey Sildur,
I really want to get the sildur default shaders, but when I try to download from your official site from the link above, my anti virus blocks it saying its a trojan. Can you add a mirror link that is a direct download please? Cheers, and have a wonderful day/

Hey man, I cant get to the download link due to my anti malware, like a lot of other people, can you dm me the download too?

[deleted]

Check the title again, it's already support 1.14.3. Just make sure to grab the latest optifine version.

Hey Sildur! I'm having a bit of trouble downloading your shaders from your website, could you dm me the DL link as well? Cheers!

Does anyone know how to get the ore pop-out effect with the vibrant shader pack?
