Energy Shaders [Java]

Banner Energy Shaders [Java] is the Java version of the former Minecraft Bedrock shader-pack Energy Shaders. It is a vanilla Minecraft shader-pack and does NOT work with Optifine. For Sodium the Sodium Core Shader Support mod is required.

It has been completely rewritten based on the older versions of Energy Shaders [Java].

Current Features:

  • Custom lightning (different for day, night and in caves)
  • Custom fog (different for day, night and in caves)
  • Custom Nether
  • Custom End
  • Custom torch light (different for day, night and in caves)
  • Vignette effect

Video

Embed Removed: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/q1hjg6YvVQY

Known missing Features:

  • Custom rain / thunder
  • Custom water
  • Custom clouds
  • Under water/lava fog may be buggy

Customization

Energy Shaders also offers a lot of customization. Since this is a vanilla shader-pack, these settings have to be manually edited. They are located inside the .zip file: assets/minecraft/shaders/include/settings.glsl

Feedback

Feel free to leave any feedback on my Discord server. Please respect, that vanilla Minecraft is very limited. If you like my work, support me on buymeacoffee.com.
