Just Colored Lighting - Fast Potato Shader
SHADERExperience vivid colored and dynamic lighting with a focus on performance for lower-end PCs, alongside PBR and Distant Horizons support.
Many Minecraft players desire the visual flair of advanced shaders but are often limited by their computer's hardware. Just Colored Lighting addresses this common challenge, offering a highly optimized shader pack designed for players who want a visually enhanced experience without sacrificing playable frame rates. It brings the subtle beauty of colored and dynamic lighting to even less powerful systems, ensuring a smoother journey through your blocky worlds.
This shader is ideal for anyone with a 'potato' computer looking to add depth and vibrancy to their Minecraft experience. It introduces distinct colored lighting from light sources and dynamic lights that illuminate as you move, solving the issue of dull, monochromatic lighting common in vanilla Minecraft. Beyond its core lighting features, it offers optional visual enhancements like shadows and texture upscaling, catering to those who want a bit more polish when their system can handle it. Crucially, it provides excellent Physically Based Rendering (PBR) support, allowing for advanced material effects even from block lights.
- Optimized Performance: Built from the ground up to be one of the fastest colored lighting shaders available, perfect for lower-end 'potato' computers.
- Vivid Lighting: Enjoy true colored lighting from various light sources and dynamic lights that illuminate your path as you move.
- Advanced Visuals: Supports PBR textures and block lights, with optional shadows and texture upscaling to refine your world's appearance.
- Expansive Compatibility: Fully compatible with popular mods like Distant Horizons and Voxy, extending your visual reach and voxel rendering.
- Mod Support & Customization: Automatically detects and adds colored lighting for most modded light sources, with an option to turn concrete into colored lights for custom neon designs.
While Just Colored Lighting aims for broad compatibility, it's important to note its current status. Beta versions are actively being tested, and not all hardware configurations have been verified. Users are encouraged to report any bugs or provide feedback on Discord to help improve stability and expand compatibility. Though the shader might function on older Minecraft versions, these have not been thoroughly tested, so feedback on their performance is also welcomed. If you encounter any modded elements that don't glow correctly, please reach out so support can be added promptly.
