This is widely due to these developers putting more value on performance and wanting the game to run well across an extremely wide array of hardware specs. Minecraft is a game that many people assume has looked the same for years, but visually it’s actually come quite a long way since its first release.Įven still with all the updates Mojang and Microsoft have put into Minecraft, it still doesn’t look quite as good as it potentially could. So real fast, we should go over some of the benefits for why you should consider using shaders for Minecraft. Just as a quick note, for this article we’re mostly going to be talking about the Nostalgia shaders, but there may be points where the article references Kappa, so just know that we’re talking about the other set of shaders when we use this word. The Nostalgia shader was made by user RRe36, the same person who created another amazing set of Shaders which are called the Kappa shaders. This is exactly the kind of reaction we had when we first took a look at Minecraft’s Nostalgia shaders.

Even if you don’t have nostalgic memories of something, sometimes you’ll look at something, and you can get a distinct feeling that you’ve seen it somewhere before.
