A performance-focused shaderpack - Polace seeks to provide dynamic lighting, vivid visuals, evocative nights, and improved water while being scalable across a variety of hardware.

Polace concentrates on maintaining atmosphere through better shadows, volumetric effects, enhanced skies, realistic water, and vivid color reproduction, in contrast to many lightweight shaderpacks that compromise visual quality. Please note, that it was built from scratch

Polace 1.1-b released! There are only minor bugs left. I cant quite fix the transparent items, so it may be issue outside of the shaderpack.

UPCOMING CHANGES:

  • Improved shadows (WIP)
  • Much better Presets (WIP. Works at 1.0, broken on 1.1-beta)
  • Improved lighting (Finished,but with QoL changes upcoming)
  • Reflections (Planned)
  • Better Ambient Fog (Finished!)
  • Enchanced cloud appearance (Planned)
  • Lots of bug fixes!

(Was tested on Minecraft 1.21.11 + Iris 1.10.7. The shaderpack should work on OptiFine and versions from 1.21.1 to 26.1.2)
