Arc Shader Minecraft: Short Guide

Arc Shader is a Minecraft shader pack that improves the game’s lighting, shadows, atmosphere, water, reflections, and overall visual quality. It is designed to make Minecraft look more realistic while still keeping performance in mind.

Arc Shader works with Minecraft Java Edition and supports shader loaders such as OptiFine and Iris. The official Modrinth page describes it as a shader for Iris and OptiFine that aims to provide realistic visuals with minimal performance loss.
