What is the Nostalgia Shader?
It is a shaderpack meant to replicate the look and feel of "first-gen" shaderpacks (Seus v08, Chocapic v3 etc.) while also adding new features and visual effects like volumetric fog.
What are the features/effects that this shaderpack has?
- custom skybox and lighting colors
- dynamic shadows
- volumetric fog
- wind effects on foliage
- shader based vanilla styled clouds (including an option for story mode styled clouds)
- second layer of volumetric clouds (partially inspired by super duper pack, but better)
- nether and end support
- TAA and auto exposure
Where can I download it?
Either here or via my website (link below).
Any Requirements?
Optifine for 1.12 or newer
A nVidia or AMD graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.0
Windows or Linux
DUE TO REPEATED ISSUE-REPORTS: Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!

Great shader! Probably my favorite one out there right now. However, there seems to be a small compatibility issue with reflections on PBR texture packs. Blocks will often reflect only the sky/clouds, even inside buildings. Will this be addressed in a future update? Thanks!
is it just me thats getting the glitchy floor where its glitching black???
ive seen so many positive feed back but on mine its glitching and ive tried to reset my setting to see if it was that and it did the same thing over and over again
those clouds are so dam cool
Probably one of my favorite shaders, very well done!

Also the clouds are great!
what texture pack is used in the screenshots

Heya, I just found out about this shader pack today. I'm really digging it! However, there are a few things that do kinda come across as odd. For one, items turn bright white when being picked up, and sometimes breaking blocks causes them to turn white while they're being broken. I'm incredibly new to messing with shader packs, so I just wanted to ask if that's an issue with the pack, or my PC and settings? But still, overall this is a fantastic pack.
Hi, I found these shaders a few days ago and honestly, they're awesome. I just wanted to ask if it's normal that I'm getting 46-58 fps with the 3.0 Version since all the other shaderpacks like SEUS, Sildurs, BSL etc. work perfectly fine and I can get around 120-140+ fps with them. I have a GTX 1650, an Intel i3-10100f and 6gb of ram allocated to Minecraft. I can get to 60-80fps by decreasing some stuff in the shader's settings and that's good enough for me but as I said, I just wanted to know if that drop in fps is normal
In reply to steveper_:
3.0 took a bit more of a performance hit than I intended to, but I am working on that since there have been a few very recent optifine updates that allow me to do some stuff a bit more efficiently. However I also wanna note that Sildurs and BSL (and SEUS if its not PTGI) are generally on the less demanding side of things, whereas Nostalgia Shader has gotten a bit more complex with 3.0.

Alright, Thanks for the info! Keep up the good work :)
Nostalgic 3.0 is awesome, thank you very much for sharing it. Also thanks for adding that minimum ambient light option.
Is there a way to tweak the underwater lighting? At the moment, kelp and other plants are emitting light, but the ocean floor is way too dark.
In reply to zothen73:
the emissive kelp is a weird bug that i'm looking into atm. Other than that there isn't a way to adjust underwater lighting currently as its tied to water absorption.
I hope you keep updating this shader because it is probably the best one out there besides BSL.
In reply to akhenaten:
Actually there is a very big update just about to be released this month :)
EDIT: Well its out now
In reply to RRe36:
you're a legend.
can there be a 1.16.4 version?
In reply to lily_thefox:
it should work i think
the shaders make fps dip below 60 fps. I am using GTX 1660 Ti. Seus and Chocapic13 both go above 120 fps. Why the frame drops?
In reply to fragmentedplant:
Mmmmm that's strange, I get 95-120fps on my normal 1660, maybe you can allocate more RAM to minecraft if u didn't. I'm not sure about how to help :/
