GLSL Shaders Mod for Minecraft 1.7/1.6

5 comments

GLSL shaders mod for Minecraft, makes it very easy to use and install shaders in Minecraft. The mod adds a extra menu option, so that you can switch shaders while in-game. You need to download shaders separately, as the mod does not comes with any built in.

Shaders is a huge graphic enhancement in Minecraft, and therefore you will also need a good graphic card (GPU) to use them. It is recommended to at least have a NVIDIA 8800GT GPU when using shaders, otherwise you risk extreme low FPS.

What shaders does, is integrating a different types of lightning. Suddenly you will see shadows and motion blur (depending on the shaderpack), greatly enhancing the graphic look of Minecraft. Shaders is especially popular when making Minecraft movies, giving Minecraft a much more cinematic look.
