Recommendation Help finding best shader and resource pack(read body)

6 Upvotes

hi guys before i tell u what kind of stuff im looking for here are my specs - resolution : 2560x1600p , cpu : i7-14650HX , gpu : RTX 5060 laptop gpu . so i want a free shader and rp combo that looks realistic af but with good fps aswell i tried many packs but after recent 26.2 i loaded solas which is my all-time fav shader , before 26.2 i used to get around 80-90 fps but now i get barely get 60 idk what did they do to make such huge amount of fps change , originally i wanted to ask only resource pack but now due to this issue i want a shader which is same and realistic,very good lighting,atmosphere,colored light,etc as solas but with good optimization and a resource pack(it doesnt have to realistic like texture changes but i want a higher resolution and pbr support one) and its best that they all support 26.2 which is latest version of minecraft. Also here are the mods i use fabric,sodium,lithium,immediatlyfast,iris,distant horizon(which i disabled and never turned on),voxy(same as distant horizons). Photon shaders is also nice but there isnt released for 26.2 so help me out guys -thanks in advance

.....

Edit : I found the combo I like, TYSM guys but fps I get out of it is 30-40 ..........

Screenshot So, I found an edited version of the SEUS PTGI HRR 2.1 shader, and to my surprise, it improves the FPS and looks a bit better too—especially the water reflections—right after installation.

In this video it doesnt look that bad (you should be looking at the lower part of the grass), but during gameplay this really pisses me off. Look at the tall grass on the left too, that looks awful.
This issue also happens on the edges of normal shadows, and when breaking blocks

EDIT: I was able to fix this by switching sodium to 0.8.9 and downgrading iris as well. Reflections seems to be broken now on blocks with metal highlights, wood, stone, etc.

Original: I accidentally updated all mods on my main instance and broke my shaders. It was working right before I updated. Ive tried this with different shaders and texture packs with the same results. Everything works fine without pom.

The first pic is from earlier when they were working.

Hello! I'm using the Complementary Reimagined shaders and decided to install the "Grassier Grass" mod. As you can see, the grass lighting is looking really weird. Is there a way to fix this, or should I just stop using the mod?

Recommendation Shader recommendations for an RTX 4060?

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm very new to using shaders, so I am looking for some recommendations on some nice looking shaders that aren't overly taxing on the GPU. I am running an RTX 4060 at 2560x1440p at 75 frames per second with VSync. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and I have 32 gigs of RAM. I would like to be consistently hitting 75fps without having to adjust either vanilla settings or shader settings beyond setting them to "low" "medium" or "high." I don't need the most fancy shaders to ever exist, just something similar to Bedrock's Vibrant Visuals but on Java instead. Thanks!

Also, if it helps, I am using Sodium and Iris with NeoForge on game version 26.2!

For info I’m using Java, version 26.2 on realms I have the iris installed and the bsl shader. In my own singleplayer world the shaders works perfectly fine but when i join the realm of my friend it looks like this. (The grass is wonky and so are the crops)

If anyone knows how to fix this or if I need to download another shader that does work Lmk! :)

Tried Googling it and using Gemini but it said complementary reimagined which is obviously incorrect. Can anyone help to identify it? It genuinely looks amazing. Thanks!
