MakeUp - Ultra Fast
What it is
MakeUp - Ultra Fast is a free Minecraft Java shader designed to improve graphics on computers with limited hardware. It lets players choose which visual effects to enable, helping adapt image quality to available resources. Options include shadows, volumetric clouds, temporal anti-aliasing, depth of field, ambient occlusion, water reflection and refraction, motion blur, bloom, chromatic aberration, and auto-exposure. Color schemes can also be selected and changed. The shader works with OptiFine and Iris; the repository specifies Iris 1.5.1 or newer, and version 8.7 or later requires that Iris version. The project lists testing with Minecraft Java 1.12 and later, through 26.x in its version listings. Windows and Linux are the tested operating systems. Nvidia, AMD, and Intel GPUs are listed as tested, though support is not guaranteed for every model. Installation requires placing the shader pack in Minecraft’s shaderpacks folder.
