    About

    Chocapic13' Shaders is a configurable shaderpack designed to improve Minecraft’s visuals while scaling across a wide range of hardware, with a focus on retaining visual quality even on lower presets. Its lighting includes a dynamic day-and-night cycle, high-dynamic-range illumination, adjustable soft-edged shadows, and shadowed volumetric fog, alongside volumetric clouds. Water gains fog, reflections, caustics, and refraction, while screen-space global illumination, temporal anti-aliasing and upscaling, bloom, depth of field, and contrast-adaptive sharpening add further visual effects. The shaderpack also supports biome-aware custom visuals for the Nether and End, and adds wavering plants. Its showcased scenes span underwater views, rain, night, noon, early morning, and sunset, as well as Nether and End environments.

    Security

    Not checked yet

    Its author does not let other sites download its files from CurseForge, so we cannot check them.

    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 · Not checked yet
    • 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.
      3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one 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. 1 of them is not checked yet. 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

    Made with AI: not checked yet

    We have not looked for AI tools in it 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.
