Bloop Shaders
What it is
Bloop Shaders is a free shader for Minecraft Java Edition that adds lighting, shadows, material effects, and visual adjustments. Its profiles and simple settings are intended to support smooth play on low-end PCs, while higher graphics options are available for more powerful systems. Shadows can use simple or advanced filtering, and lighting features include floodfill, ambient occlusion, volumetric light and mist, and cloud and contact shadows. Material options include LabPBR compatibility, POM, and material SSR. Visual effects include bloom, depth of field, volumetric and vanilla clouds, custom tonemapping, and TAA with anti-ghosting support on entities. The shader also supports Distant Horizons, including shadows, the Physics Mod, and various modded blocks. The listing names compatibility with Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.16.x through 1.21.x and 26.1.x through 26.3, as well as Iris and OptiFine. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is licensed CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0. The project page links to a Discord server.
