About
Shader Essentials is a convenience-focused modpack that makes exploration and everyday play smoother without substantially changing Minecraft’s core gameplay. Embeddium and Rubidium Extra improve rendering performance, while Inventory Tweaks - ReFoxed and Mouse Tweaks help organize items and speed up inventory interactions and building. JourneyMap adds a minimap and waypoint system for navigation, and Just Enough Items provides crafting recipes and item information. Optional Oculus support enables virtual reality play, and the pack is intended for both single-player and multiplayer.

Security
No harmful code found in its projects
We checked all 9 projects and the files in the pack itself, without running them.
Why we show this: a modpack installs the files of its mods, and each mod runs on your computer like any program. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: a modpack has no grade of its own, and each mod's result counts in that mod's grade.
How we checked
- Its projects9 projects
- Files in the pack itselfNo files in the pack itself: it only lists the projects to download.
Privacy
Why we show this: a modpack runs the code of its mods, and a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Send nothingTheir code contacts no web address.6 mods
AI
AI used in 1 of the 7 mods we checked
We found an AI tool in it, or its author declared AI content.
Made with AI: not checked yet
We have not looked for AI tools in the pack itself yet.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
