Shaderly Optimized is a performance-focused Minecraft modpack designed to make beautiful graphics and shader effects more accessible to players with low-end computers.

Built for Minecraft 26.2 with NeoForge, the modpack combines powerful optimization mods, carefully adjusted rendering settings, shader support, and useful quality-of-life improvements.

The main goal is simple: deliver a smoother, visually enhanced Minecraft experience using only 2GB of allocated RAM.

Shaderly Optimized preserves the original Minecraft experience while introducing improvements to rendering, memory efficiency, animations, sound, and gameplay convenience.

✨ Main Features

• 🚀 Performance First: Multiple optimization mods working together to reduce unnecessary processing.

• 💾 Only 2GB RAM Allocated: Configured with a recommended allocation of 2000 MB.

• 🎨 Shader Support: Enhanced lighting and atmospheric effects through Iris.

• ⚡ Sodium Optimization: Carefully adjusted settings for rendering efficiency.

• 🌲 Advanced Culling: Reduces unnecessary rendering of blocks, leaves, entities, and item frames.

• 🎮 Vanilla+ Gameplay: Preserves the original Minecraft experience with useful improvements.

• 🔊 Improved Audio: More immersive sound effects through Sound Physics Remastered.

• 🧭 Quality-of-Life Features: Better navigation, inventory management, and information displays.

⚠️ IMPORTANT — RAM ALLOCATION WARNING

PLEASE READ BEFORE LAUNCHING THE MODPACK!

Shaderly Optimized is configured to use approximately 2000 MB (2GB) of allocated RAM.

Some versions or configurations may display a warning stating:

“You have allocated 2000 MB of RAM, but the minimum recommended amount is 2500 MB.”

✅ YOU CAN SIMPLY CONTINUE!

If this warning appears, you can ignore it and proceed with launching Minecraft.

You do not need to increase your RAM allocation solely because of this warning.

The modpack has been configured with a 2GB RAM target, and its included optimizations are intended to help reduce memory consumption.

In the current configuration, automatic memory warnings are disabled, so this pop-up may not appear at all.

Important notes:

• 2000 MB is the recommended allocation configured for this modpack.

• 2500 MB is the warning threshold defined in the Memory Settings configuration.

• The warning does not automatically mean the game will fail to launch.

• Actual stability and performance depend on your hardware, shader settings, and world complexity.

• Some computers or demanding shader configurations may require additional memory.

Remember: 2GB refers to the RAM allocated to Minecraft, not your computer’s total installed RAM.
