04 / FAQ

Before you ask

Is ShaderPack official?
No. ShaderPack is an independent catalog. We are not affiliated with Mojang or Microsoft. All shader packs remain the property of their original authors.
Do I need Iris or OptiFine?
Most modern shader packs run on Iris (paired with Sodium) for the best performance. Older packs also work on OptiFine. Each shader page lists the supported loaders.
How do I install a shader pack?
Install Iris or OptiFine, launch Minecraft, open Video Settings → Shader Packs → Open Shaders Folder and drop the downloaded .zip in. Select it in-game and press Done.
Will shaders slow my PC?
It depends on the pack. Realistic and path-traced shaders are demanding; low-end and vanilla-like shaders run smoothly on modest hardware. Filter by Performance to find fast options.
Are shaders compatible with texture packs?
Yes. Shaders and resource packs complement each other — shaders handle lighting, shadows and post-processing, while resource packs change block and item art. For the best results, pair a PBR-ready shader with a PBR resource pack; standard packs still look great with any shader. We recommend downloading from a trusted source to avoid corrupted or repackaged files.
