Minecraft Shader Packs Guide




If you might be wondering about Minecraft's shaders and how to use them, you've come to the right place! You could use shaders in vanilla Minecraft. Go to gamemode 3 (Spectator Mode) and left-click on either an Enderman, Creeper or Spider. The effect that you get from Enderman are inverted colors in everything. The effect that you get from a creeper is that everything is completely green. And the effect you get from spiders are that you have multiple tiny screens, slight blurring and high FOV (field of vision). You can install WAY better shaders with waving grass, reflection on the water, waving water, waving trees and just FABULOUS lighting. The instructions:

ATTENTION!!! Look after the "Quick & Advanced" instructions and you will see the "Long-Waiting & Easy" instructions.



Quick & Advanced Instructions
First off, install Minecraft Forge Installer in files.minecraftforge.net and if click on any version. If your maps are 1.8, click on the 1.8 version. You see the Download Recommended menu and some buttons below? Choose the Installer-win. Do NOT choose other ones (because I don't know how to use it XD).

Once you download it, double-click on the program to install it. Follow instructions on the program. Then, create a "mods" folder in your Minecraft folder. Then, install the Minecraft shaders mod here. Once you download the ShadersModCore, put it into your mods folder. Run your Minecraft launcher, and then there you see your username or "Default" in the bottom-right corner? Yeah, there is a dropdown menu. Click on it and there is "Forge". Click on Forge.

It will not change your username, don't worry! The version will be 1.8-forge (and lots of confusing words you don't need to search google about, but worth knowing and remembering) instead of just 1.7.10 or 1.8. If it's not, choose "Edit Profile" then change the version into 1.7.10-forge. Run your Minecraft. Go into one of your worlds, then quit your game. You will see that in your .minecraft directory that there is a shaderpacks folder. At the Minecraft Shaders Mod by Karyonix page where you downloaded the mod, there are links to the shaders. You will notice that these are .zip packs. Put them into your shaderpacks folder. Go into Minecraft, click on "Shaders..." in the Options and choose your new shader. Have fun!



Long-Waiting & Easy Instructions
You don't need to install Minecraft Forge, just go to [url=http://www.(Ad link removed)/glsl-shaders-mod-installer-for-minecraft-1-8/]here[/url]. Download the program, and remember that this website is 100% safe! Double-click once you finished downloading to open it, wait for a few seconds while it initializes its installer, then click on install mod. You will have to wait for a long time... ONCE IT'S FINISHED play your Minecraft and go to options.

You will see "Shaders" on the menu, click on it, and you will see shaders panel. Exit Minecraft and Google "minecraft shaders" and you will find some shaders. For slow computers, I recommend THIS beautiful shaders right here. Put them in your shaderpacks folder in you .minecraft directory. Play Minecraft. And there you go! You've got shaders installed! Just go to the "Shaders..." in the Options and choose your shader! Simple, right?

SHADERS TO AVOID!!!
Avoid Sasuked's Pack at ALL costs! It will be 99.9% lock your Minecraft and you will never play Minecraft with shaders anymore! You will get a static screen and your computer will most likely to crash after your Minecraft does! This will happen in even the beefiest (strongest) computer!! If you had a go with a slow computer, you will never, ever be able to enjoy Minecraft with shaders. It is dangerous. I tell ya IT'S DANGEROUS!!!

Have fun with your shaders!
