What is the Vanilla Plus Shader?
It's a shaderpack supposed to look like Vanilla, but in somewhat better (dynamic shadows and better clouds). For our french people, a french article about it can be found here: Link.
It also offers some selectable profiles that mimic popular old shaderpacks, that are sadly now outdated, namely Seus v08 and Chocapic v3 (and its, not even authorized, derivates like Rudoplays and Plunderpixels) so if you liked these packs back in the day, this might be worth a shot.
Where can I download it?
Either here or via my website (link below).
What features does it offer?
- dynamic shadows
- volumetric clouds
- lens flares
- motionblur
- bloom
- temporal anti-aliasing
- resourcepack support
- godrays
and many more.
Any Requirements?
- Optifine for 1.12 or newer
- A graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.0
- Windows/Linux
- DUE TO REPEATED ISSUE-REPORTS: Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!
Yeah, this was cool but now it just crashes every single time I try and run it. Exit Code 0 if you're curious.
ok this is a great shaderpack, and it makes everything look FANTASTIC while still running 120 fps, but one of the things I found annoying was that it is very hard to see in the water in oceans unless you're at the very bottom because of the fog. I'm wondering in a future update if you will add an option to disable water fog?
(BTW going to the bottom of the oceans and looking up is so cool)

also while it is raining you can still see shadows just like the sun is out and I was wondering if there is also an option to disable shadows while it's thundering
This is my absolute favorite shader pack but I have one question when ever i am in the dark and i break a block and pick it up it glows white is this supposed to happen if so is there anyway to turn this off? Also i am in 1.16.5
Please add an option to disable shadows! Dynamic/realtime shadows decimate my FPS no matter what quality :(
I love this shader pack (thanks a lot for it!), but there are few possible improvements I'd like to ask for:
Other than those rather minor issues, really great job!
In reply to vyo2003:
I should prolly look into some kind of very basic generic dimension shaders for the latter, might be neat if it works out as intended since then all unknown dimensions will have basic post processing at least and a slider for underwater fog is planned for the next version already. Gonna take a little while though since I am revamping the internals to make it more tidy and fast.
In reply to RRe36:
That's great to hear!
There's actually another issue I'm having when using this shader pack: layered transparency effects seem not to work correctly. However, knowing how much of a pain transparency is in rendering, I'm not sure if it's something that can be fixed without considerable performance reduction or probably at all just shader-side. Still, would be neat to get it working properly if it's doable.
In reply to vyo2003:
Multiple translucency layers are working-ish, shading works but fog and reflections don't. Not much I can do about that, even with going for full forward shading in the revamp since some things like fog need access to data that isn't available in the translucency passes which is a pity tbh.
Anyone know how this compares to sildurs enhanced default?
Please add an option which makes cloud height obey the set height for the dimension. I'm using a mod which has a dimension where the cloud height is supposed to be 0, but when i have this shader installed, the clouds aren't where they're supposed to be.
In reply to ja586:
That data is not provided by optifine so for now thats not possible.
In reply to RRe36:
What about an option to use the vanilla clouds rather than the volumetric ones in this shader, and then the vanilla clouds can use the set height?
In reply to ja586:
The vanilla clouds get rendered in a kind of janky way that is rather complicated to get completely right, thats why I decided to use volumetric clouds instead, as these can be integrated in a much more tidy and issue-free way. However you might want to give the Simplicissimus Shader of mine a shot if its important to you, as that pack uses the vanilla clouds.
Are there certain settings that we have to use in the area to the right off the shaders?(Like where it says Hand Depth, Shader Quality Etc.)
In reply to LigitAcc:
Everything on default usually

Is there a way to turn down the blurriness? It really throws me off.
In reply to DoozyContent:
Yeah I just was wondering the same thing and found the setting, it's Temporal Anti-Aliasing under post.

Oh, ty!
