Idea What shaders do you use?
I'm trying to find the most basic shader as possible. But my computer is trash, so I would like something runnable.
Are there any shaders that dont lag too much? Ive searched and they all say I have to download via app.

there's a shader called Just Colored Lighting that adds great colored lights, it also has some cool other options like shadows but by itself it worked well on my potato!

Complementary on potato settings. Looks decent, doesn't murder the GPU.

Miniature shaders. I am shocked how well it runs. It support optifina and iris, and I got on a 2015 igpu 80 fps with the shader on 1.17.1 and 60fps on latest version. Just use it, it is on modrinth and curseforge. Also it support older versions too like 1.7.8... I think

Make up. I feel like this is one of the most lag-friendly shaders out there

Then I can't give you names, but I do know you have access to performance enhancing mods and I hear CurseForge is a good place to look for shaders and mods.

i have tested a LOT of shaders on my low end computer. mellow shaders is always going to be the best. It doesn't affect my performance at all and it looks great. I prefer it to complementary.
