What is Vanilla Plus?
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.
Whats up with the different versions that I can download?
As of Version 2.0.0 all three versions have been merged into one with a setting to select the color preset.
This section will be updated soon to accomodate this.
There are multiple editions of this shaderpack, with the regular one just being called "Vanilla Plus".
The "SE" Edition is made to look like Seus v08 since that shaderpack is highly outdated by todays standards and some people might still prefer it's overall look.
The "CE" Edition is matched to Chocapic v3 and has two color Profiles. The first one being the regular Chocapic v3 colors (or also rudoplays since that is basically an unauthorized clone of chocapic v3) and the second one being matched to the so called "Plunderpixel" shader (also technically an unauthorized clone).
The matched Vanilla Plus versions however are using a much more modern framework and thus are more optimized than their respective original counterparts. For the same reason I am also not using a single line of code from these shaders, in case you are wondering.
Also have some comparison images:
What are the Features this shaderpack has?
- TAA
- dynamic shadows
- custom colors
- improved clouds
- custom skybox
- improved fog
- screenspace reflections (disabled by default)
- labPBR support
- godrays
Any Requirements?
Optifine for 1.12 or newer
A graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.0
Preferrably Windows, Linux potentially also works
DUE TO REPEATED ISSUE-REPORTS: Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!
Where can I download it?
Either here or via my website (link below).

Guys, let the creators do what they want. They're updating as much as they can.
If you want it to update faster, make your own version, don't force the creators to make versions that you would love more.
Or you can support them on Patreon to help him so they can finally UpdAtE tO OnE PoInT SixTeEn PoiNt ThrEe.
I am in fact going updating my packs one by one atm. Kappa Shader, being my main pack, just takes a lot of time rn because I'm essentially reinventing the wheel in many places to get much better code. Vanilla Plus should get a big-ish update somewhere around november or december if everything goes as planned.
And this version of vanilla plus mostly works on 1.16 already, except for particles and the new nether biome colors.
(Also yes, patreon support would be nice due to how messed up everything is due to covid :p )

can you please update to 1.16.3?
Having an issue where all mobs including players are dark like under a shadow. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix?
Are you on 1.16? If so, either disable normalmap support or wait for optifine to fix it.
Why are slime not semi transparent?
Semi-translucent entities cant really be done properly in this kind of shading pipeline so they just appear solid instead, but i prefer that over broken tbh.
is it 1.16.3 compatible?
updated lol
In reply to lavadragon15396:
Yes, why not try it before even asking?
There are some minor stuff that needs to be looked into, for example, when breaking blocks the particles are EXTREMELY bright.
Yeah, 1.16/1.15 changed how particles render so that needs to be completely reworked which is kinda annoying, but it's Mojang-things eh?
In reply to 白石苦:
I tried in 1.16.2 it glitched a ton
Does it work with 1.16.2?
How do I open this up on Minecraft launcher
(Im new to Mods)
Download Optifine, enter the game using Optifine, go to Settings > Video settings > Shaders > Open Shaders folder and drop the Shaders you just downloaded in the file. Then select the shaders you want and there you go! Remember that shaders can cause a bit of Lag.
Also see a Youtube tutorial if you didn't understand

I understand you 2 months ago I started in minecraft. I've been playing on PC my whole life. on Youtube there are many tutorials. I learned on youtube. There are many YouTuber who teach you everything. Just search on Youtube. I hope I can solve you. If you have any questions in confidence I can also help you. Leave me a message here and your question. Because I already imagine that you learned how to put the mods. I am not a pro but I have learned a lot and the doubts that you are going to have I will pass. Here to always help. I AM NOT A PRO.
In reply to fireboy_78:
First you have to download the optifine version from optifine.net, and run the installer. Some people run it through the Forge modloader, but it can run standalone I believe. Once it's installed, you can select the optifine profile in the minecraft launcher and run it. Once you do, do what iago_02 said.
Any suggested settings to help with water / underwater. Everything seems really BLUE and is hard to see.
Does this work with 1.8 [best version xd]?
If you use latest optifine it might but no guarantees.
Hi,
I'm not sure why but I get a bunch of openGL errors every time I try to run this pack. Do you know why this could be? If it helps, my graphics card does support up to OpenGL 4.1. Thanks so much
