Candela Shaders

A cool shaderpack made by a 13yo with a trash pc, for the HackCraft event that runs better than Complimentary (I use a GTX 1060 6GB, btw, so i know what it is like to have a trash PC)

Features

• Colored, translucent shadows: Colored transparent block hae colored shadows! (this is just from the lumen guide so not so special.), BUT, it also has shadow blur u can customise!
• Full day/night cycle: There are independent brightness settings for each time of the day, and for each dimension!
• Bloom: Gaussian based blur which u can customise horizontally AND vertically seperately (keep the bloom x value higher for a cool camera smudge effect :3 )
• Godrays: The cool shafts of light from the sun, I have used a different method to create them, see credits for more.
• Waving foliage and water: Its not even special, every shader has this
• Depth-based outlines: Very cool block outlines! See credits for more
• Liminal vibe(kinda): I was listening to "Six Forty Seven" by Instupendo while making this, so i decided to add a pink tone similar to those liminal spaces videos!

Installation

1. Requires Iris Shaders for Minecraft (Fabric), obviously.
2. Download the shaderpack on the Github Releases Page OR on Modrinth
3. Drop the .zip file in your .minecraft/shaderpacks/ directory.
4. Select Candela Shaders from the Iris shader selection screen.
5. Open Shader Pack Settings to edit the settings as you wish.

Performance

This is a rather performant shader having better FPS with reasonable settings than other shaders like Complimentary or BSL Lite. I was even ble to push the settings a little higher than other shaders on my diapidated GTX 1060!

Credits

• Lumen (Hack Club): This is a HackCraft submission, so I did use their Lumen shader guide to help me build the fundamental features, but I also took help of
• Iris Shaders Documentation: for other thigs like waving foliage and water, shader settings, the correct folder structure, etc. And when my code didn't work, I just looked at my favourite shader:
• Super Duper Vanilla: When in doubt, i just checked what Super Duper Vanilla did, I also kind of gave up on making the outlines myself so they are from this shader. It is also my fav shader so u should check it out!
• IGoByLotsOfNames: In a specific video he shares a method to make godrays efficiently, without any lag. see the video, its a great watch!
• Ascipixi's shader template:Due to issues with git, I had to create a new repo and abandon the original fork but, u should check it out nevertheless! And finally,
• You, for downloading and trying this shader. It is my 1st shader so I hope you like it!
