The Beat of a Heart
A vibrant, exciting visual overhaul for Minecraft built to work exactly to your computer's performance.

Notable features include:
1. Beautiful atmospheric lighting
2. Smooth wind animations on plantlife, leaves, etc.
3. Toggleable support for advanced modules like Path Tracking, bloom, and Physically Based Rendering textures.

By providing fully scalable presets, this pack gives developer-level control back to the player so you can prioritize maximum frames per second or cinematic quality.

You must use either Iris Shaders or OptiFine to load this shaderpack.

The Potato and Low presets are built for integrated graphics and basic laptops.

The highly optimized Medium preset averages around 100 FPS on mainstream mid-range hardware like an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU. (Yes, the shaders were tested on this gpu.)
