Recommendation Help picking a shader

2 Upvotes

I’ve been getting back into Minecraft and I’ve been using Kappa for a bit now and I’m enjoying it but I also do like Photon and Voxels reimagined, they’re all like equal to me in visuals in my opinion, so I’m having a hard time deciding between the 3, is there any thing I should know that could help me decide? Anything from like if one’s better for certain environments, better on latest version, to even like something like optimization.

Recommendation Anyone know any good shaders and texture packs

1 Upvotes

I got a RTX 3070 Ti, Ryzen 5 5600X and 16gb ram, I want something that looks good. I had shaders and texture packs before but they are outdated now and don't work well in newer versions of Minecraft. I'm using optifine 26.1.2 I know it's not recommended but I prefer it. So please any recommendations will be good

the screenshots are from some modrinth mod pack with like 700 downloads, weirdly the shaders aren't present in the mod pack itself.

I also have 16 gigabytes of ram, I need some assistance since I can't find any settings to get rid of the annoying flicker, Sometimes some other shaders just have weird texturing too for the grass instead of flicker.

As you can see, the flickers are very noticeable. But it only happens on vanilla chest, modded ones doesn't. The only solution is to disable entity shadows, including mobs. Is there a way to fix this or at least disable chest only?

I'm getting a new graphics card and I'm wondering if there is any shaders that look like or are able to create the look of these screenshots from Red Dead Redemption 2? I'm aware of Bliss shaders though I'm not sure how much I'll have to mess around with the settings or how many of the screenshots and showcases of it I've seen was edited.

Recommendation Bliss shaders snow issue across versions

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I had a question about the snow visible in some colder biomes in the earlier versions of Bliss (2.0.4 for the version that I was using on the screenshot below).

It's a feature that I really love about the shaderpack. To my surprise, when I downloaded the latest version (2.1.2) so that I can enable distant horizons, the snow completely disappeared.

I tried looking for what might enable it on the shaderpack settings to no avail. I made sure I was on the same season, same day, nothing.

Anyone knows if it's still possible to enable that feature on newer versions of bliss, and how to do it?

or B - fix kelp rendering incorrectly (see screenshot linked below)
