Nostalgia Shader - Minecraft Shader
This shaderpack recreates the look and feel of classic shaders from the ShadersMod era. It preserves the recognizable old-school style while offering many modern features and optimized performance!
Users note some similarity to the previously canceled "Super Duper Graphics Pack" project - it appears the developer drew inspiration from this concept to create a modern implementation.
Features and Capabilities
The main feature set includes:
- Soft dynamic shadows - realistic lighting with smooth transitions
- Screen-space path-tracing (SSPT) - advanced lighting as an optional feature
- Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) - eliminates jagged edges and artifacts
- Layered volumetric clouds in vanilla style - the first of their kind realistic atmospheric effects
- Screen-space reflections - with the ability to show environment beyond screen boundaries with reflection capture enabled
- Volumetric fog - creates impressive atmosphere and scene depth
- labPBR resource pack support - advanced materials with physical-based rendering
- Camera lens effects - various optional enhancements including depth of field, lens flares, and vignette
The clouds don't require special textures - the shader uses the same cloud files as your installed resource pack.
System Requirements
Required for operation:
- OptiFine version 1.16+ or Iris version 1.5.0+
- Graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.3 or newer
- Windows or Linux operating system
The shader continues to develop and periodically receives new features.
