    About

    BMS Shader is a performance-minded shader pack based on BSL Shaders that enhances Minecraft’s visuals with realistic lighting, shadows, and atmospheric effects. Its settings can be adjusted to suit your computer, balancing visual effects with smooth gameplay.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes how the game looks: 30 shader programs, for the Overworld, the Nether and the End. Draws its own shadows, water, sky, clouds and weather.

    Settings in English and Russian. Has programs for Distant Horizons.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a shader cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A shader has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
