AV Shaders

AV Shader (Advanced Vanilla)

AV Shader is a shader pack for Minecraft that runs on Iris. It keeps vanilla’s blocky look and adds modern lighting and atmosphere on top. It’s built to stay fast on weak PCs.

Its look is inspired by the Photon shader.

Features

Lighting and shadows

• Real-time sun and moon shadows with adjustable softness, resolution and distance
• Held torches, lanterns and lava buckets light up the area around you
• Placed torches and lava give warm light
• Block faces are shaded like vanilla (bright tops, darker bottoms)

Shadows are the biggest FPS cost. Turning them off gains about 25-35%.

Sky

• Sky drawn from scratch instead of using vanilla’s
• Day and night gradient, sunsets, and blocky square sun and moon discs like vanilla
• Star-chart constellations at night, joined by gold lines, plus sparkling stars and shooting stars
• Only a few constellations show in each area, and a different set fades in as you travel
• Thunderstorms add lightning flashes, darker clouds and sheet lightning

Clouds

• Three styles: soft volumetric (default), flat, and vanilla Minecraft clouds

World

• Water with animated waves, sky reflections, sun and moon glitter, and clear shallows that turn deep teal further out
• Grass, flowers and leaves sway in the wind
• Nether: biome-coloured haze, lava mist and floating embers
• End: violet sky with aurora curtains
• Distant Horizons support, with its own fog and lighting settings

Post-processing and menus

• Bloom and sharpening
• Brightness, exposure, contrast, saturation and warmth controls
• Four profiles (Potato, Low, Balanced, High Quality) that set many options at once, so you can trade looks for FPS
• Settings menu organised into named screens, with an Information tab that has the Discord and YouTube links
