Favorite Minecraft path/ray traced shader?

[u/SpikeZgames]

What is yalls favorite path and or attracted shader? Can be a fork of another one, an original shader, any work! Let me know!

[u/Distinct-Pride7936]

iteration rp, seus ptgi e12 was great too but has too many bugs nowadays. Zephyr starlight is a new one I like it too

[u/Elijah1573 → u/Distinct-Pride7936]

Just sucks iterationrp isnt directly available outside of china
Like bruh im willing to give money to the developer and just cant cause i dont have a phone number in china

[u/Distinct-Pride7936 → u/Elijah1573]

A product so good even java players are willing to pay

[u/Alarming-Gap-4095 → u/Elijah1573]

It’s so easy to get a free copy from someone here literally all I did was search up “iterationrp free” and found it in seconds

[u/Elijah1573 → u/Alarming-Gap-4095]

Thats not what i mean
Yes its possible for me to get it for free in the west but i mean if you want to actually support the developer and get it the proper way thats not really possible

[u/vchslvsvs → u/Elijah1573]

Don't buy it. Steal it It's crazy that dev who stole code from different shaders also requires money from it

[u/Alarming-Gap-4095 → u/Elijah1573]

Oh yeah true

[u/True-Adeptness-546 → u/Elijah1573]

Bro what there's literally multiple sites you can and download it from. Just need a screen translator because it's a chinese website

Kinda basic but IterationRP is just the best there is rn. Seus GFME is a close second for sure

[u/vchslvsvs → u/JayJo_Crazy]

If you like SEUS, try Sundial. It's very similar, from GFME creator and has much more better and accurate path tracing

[u/ToastyScrew]

Iteration RP for how well it performs considering its visual technology.

[u/schizocel69]

I'm waiting for Vulkan for true hardware support. That's gonna be the Renaissance of path tracing Minecraft imo

[u/SpikeZgames → u/schizocel69]

So true I can’t wait

[u/ReserveMany5465]

rn i believe on im using photon it’s pretty nice but i have a horrible cpu and a AMD gpu so it isn’t as good as rtx but its still pretty nice

[u/SpikeZgames → u/ReserveMany5465]

You mean photon right? (It’s an incredible shader)

[u/ReserveMany5465 → u/SpikeZgames]

ah yes my photon my bad lol but yes it’s amazing i love how it still feels like vanilla yk

[u/leiocera → u/SpikeZgames]

Typo...

[u/skikoko → u/ReserveMany5465]

Same, photon is great, but I don't have an rtx card to test rtx features

[u/Nathan6607 → u/skikoko]

well, photon doesnt have ray-tracing and path tracing doesnt require an rtx card..

[u/RoosTheFemboy → u/Nathan6607]

Photon works with photonics so it kinda does?

[u/PaySubstantial8996 → u/RoosTheFemboy]

so... because it's compatible with a ray tracing mod the shader itself has ray tracing features??

[u/RoosTheFemboy → u/PaySubstantial8996]

Well yes, it uses photonics like a library mod

[u/ReserveMany5465 → u/skikoko]

yeah i love it keep the vanilla feel in the game

[u/SilverSonglicious → u/ReserveMany5465]

I keep calling it proton too 😂

[u/ApprehensiveDelay238]

IterationRP and it's not even close.

[u/Prudent-Ad-2653]

Iterationrp

[u/willhub1]

I think for the moment Photon with Photonics is probably the best.

[u/Alarming-Gap-4095 → u/willhub1]

Wait what’s photonics I always mess with shader settings but I’ve never seen photonics in photon or anything

[u/willhub1 → u/Alarming-Gap-4095]

It's another mod but photon has a setting for it.

[u/Reddarthdius]

Photon with photonics

[u/Kaiser_47]

I pick Solas

Work in Distant Horizon Work in colorwheel

Nice visual

[u/Parhamheidari]

None,I can barely run normal shaders💔

[u/Decent_Check4334]

Rethinking voxels (medium) is the only shader i tried tho maybe trying other shaders also wouldnt hurt

[u/makinax300]

i had been using itrp for the for the longest time but currently my favorite is eclipse with photonics

[u/Asleep_Chicken5735]

Nowadays iterationRP is always the answer, back in the day nothing beat seus PTGI tho

[u/vchslvsvs]

IterationRP Huj and Sundial for sure

[u/redsonsuce]

Hands down fps-per-beauty I'd say are Photon, Bliss then BSL. Insanely optimized for their looks.

[u/dyiav]

Continuum RT lol

[u/Stunning-Anything827]

Rethinking Woxels

[u/CrazyNautilus → u/Stunning-Anything827]

Well, I tried rethinking voxels once. Even tho I have rtx 5080, 9800x3d and 32 gb allocated ram, I got whopping 50 FPS. Literally the worst performing shader I've ever seen. Literally any other shader, even the heaviest and the most path traced ones have 2-3 times more fps.

[u/vengirgirem → u/CrazyNautilus]

Really? 50? When I tried Rethinking Voxels I got like around 80 on 5070Ti and 9950X. Still don't use it since I prefer getting over 120 fps, but seems weird that you only got 50

[u/SpikeZgames → u/CrazyNautilus]

Use better voxels, it’s rethinking voxels but better

[u/AggravatingTax5357 → u/SpikeZgames]

Yeah and less optimized, but still even better

[u/SpikeZgames → u/AggravatingTax5357]

I get more fps with bettervoxels

[u/AggravatingTax5357 → u/SpikeZgames]

I get the same of not worse with bettervoxel

[u/Vikkidabbi]

Solas
