RenderPearl

Modern, lightweight shaders for Iris

RenderPearl is an incredibly lightweight shader pack using the latest Iris and GLSL features, aiming to deliver pleasant graphics with excellent performance on modern hardware

It is currently only tested with NVIDIA graphics drivers. If you find a bug and want to report it or give feedback/suggestions, the easiest way to do so is by leaving a comment here or on CurseForge, or opening an issue on the GitHub issue tracker

The name is inspired by RenderDragon

Features

• Detailed, colored real-time shadows and volumetric light using simple shadow mapping
• Colored light index-based block light with BRDF reflections
• A wide range of almost zero-cost post-processing effects, including FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening, anti-aliasing (SMAA) and a variety of tone mapping operators. Dynamic Color Grading automatically adjusts exposure, black point and color balance to improve visibility and more fully utilize the display's limited range

• Optionally emissive Redstone, Lapis and Emerald Blocks
• Customizable waves and water opacity
• Specular and normal map support as well as automatically generated normals and roughness values
• Built-in utility features such as light level visualization and a compass overlay
