The input is an announcement about GLSL AcidsHaders being available for download on various sites; however I found myself skipping straight down into its description which was much more interesting than what appeared above because now we know how players will experience such graphics: balanced yet impressive enough where people may want them installed even if their computer isn’t close.
Changelogs
R6
- Added the sky back into the background.
R5
- Reformatted some more code.
- Fixed the block outline bug. The transformation needs to be done inside gbuffers_basic, however doing so will cause the transformation to apply to all the gbuffers, so I added programs for most of the gbuffers.
- Made fog fancy instead of fast.
- Collapsed the World Space edition into the Screen Space edition. You can now enable World Space by un-commenting lines in the following files: gbuffers_terrain.vsh, gbuffers_entities.vsh, and gbuffers_basic.vsh. You can also uncomment lines in the textured, textured_lit, and weather programs, but the difference is not really worth the 30 seconds it would take you.
- Released Animal Crossing Shaders (would have abbreviated as AC Shaders, but that would get confused with ACid).
Tips:
- Requires Optifine or GLSL Shaders Mod
- Requires Minecraft Forge for most of the versions.
