Glimmer

The Glimmer modification represents a collection of shaders for Minecraft, created with an emphasis on ease of use and performance, while visually competing with more complex solutions.

Key Features

This shader pack offers four performance presets: 'Potato', 'Toaster', 'Integrated Graphics' and 'Dedicated Graphics', capable of running on hardware of varying power - from weak devices to powerful gaming computers.

One of the unique features is colored block lighting, which adds additional visual depth to the game. The shader supports the Distant Horizons modification and includes the 'Infinite Ocean' function, creating the impression of endless water surface beyond the visible area.

Visual effects include:

• Full compatibility with LabPBR 1.3 standard
• Dynamic shadows based on either shadow maps or approximation from light maps
• Screen space reflections and refractions
• Procedural 2D clouds
• Temporal filtering to reduce noise at low sample counts
• Bloom effect

Compatibility

Shader pack requires OpenGL 4.3 or higher. Compatibility with macOS and Raspberry Pi devices is not provided. The modification works with Iris version 1.6 and above, while OptiFine support is not implemented.

Technical Features

The shader uses modern rendering techniques, providing quality visualization with optimal performance. System requirements were specifically optimized for different hardware categories.
