Shader development is hard and takes a lot of time. If you enjoy my shaders, please consider supporting my work!

Glimmer

Glimmer is a Minecraft shaderpack designed to be simple and performant without looking like it.

Features

  • 'Potato', 'Toaster', 'Integrated Graphics' and 'Dedicated Graphics' presets, designed to run on anything from your fridge to a NASA supercomputer.
  • Colored block lighting!
  • Distant Horizons support!
  • 'Infinite Ocean', adding water stretching out of render distance.
  • Complete LabPBR 1.3 compliance.
  • Shadows, using either the shadow map or approximated from the lightmap.
  • Screen space reflections and refractions.
  • Procedural 2D clouds.
  • Temporal filtering to reduce noise at low sample counts.
  • Bloom

Compatibility

  • OpenGL 4.3+ - macOS is not supported, nor is the Raspberry Pi. Most modern GPUs (integrated or dedicated) should work fine.
  • Iris 1.6+, OptiFine is not supported.

Acknowledgements

  • Andrew Hilmer, for his Shadertoy implementation of Sébastien Hillaire's 'A Scalable and Production Ready Sky and Atmosphere Rendering Technique'
  • Belmu - Reference code for SSR
  • Emin - Shadow bias calculation from Complementary
  • NinjaMike - Directional lightmapping method
  • sixthsurge - A decent amount of code reference from Photon
  • Null - Help porting in the atmospheric scattering code
  • As always, the members of the ShaderLABS Discord server who have helped me get this far learning how to do all this
  • Many other people, there are links scattered throughout the code
