MakeUp v.9.x

MakeUp Ultra Fast

MakeUp aims to provide the best quality / performance ratio, building a shader that can be adapted to anyone's resources. Build the shader you want! All the effects are optional!, and you will only consume the resources that you need.

¡Compatible with Optifine and Iris!

Optional features:

Shadows
Optional volumetric clouds
Antialiasing (TAA)
Depth of field
Enhanced ambient occlusion
Water reflection and refraction
Motion blur
Optional bloom
Optional chromatic aberration
Auto-exposure
Shader for all native dimensions
FAST!
And more...

Tested on

Minecraft 1.12.+ - 1.21.x
Nvidia, Intel, AMD (It's not guaranteed to work on each and every existing model)
Windows and Linux

You can

You can use the shader without restrictions.
You can fork the shader from: https://github.com/javiergcim/MakeUpUltraFast
You can modify this shader for any purpose.
If you modify or use the shader PLEASE add a credit.

Color schemes

It can be boring that everything looks the same all the time. Choose a color scheme according to your tastes and change it whenever you want.

Recommendations

Leave Optifine's native shader options at their default values, otherwise you may see shader quality reduced. Customize using only the options of the shader itself.

Shadows and depth of field are resource-intensive effects. You can remove them if you need more performance, and it will still look great.
