ecos shader for Canvas

Lightweight graphics enhancements for your laptop.

Background

Recently I got a laptop, and when I run Lumi Lights on it it started to overheat. So I made this shader as a replacement. It's not the exact same but it got the basic ideas that I wanted from a shader while keeping performance impact at minimum.

Features

See the gallery for some comparisons.

• Shadows (optional, laptop friendliness varies)
• Bloom
• Tone mapping
• Fancy metals & glass
• Fancy water
• Fog
• Vanilla-like (for the most part, might change later)

Planned Features

• Anti-aliasing
• Water shading
• Colored lights

Anti-vanilla feature

• Ignore vanilla lightmap (ecos uses its own lighting system)

How to use this?

If this is the first time you use a Canvas shader:

1. Put shader ZIP file in resourcepacks folder, then activate the resource pack. Note: if you have other Canvas shaders, it's recommended to put ecos above them in the selected resource pack list.

2. Open Video Settings... -> Canvas -> Pipeline Options.

3. Click the "Pipeline: [pipeline name]" button and pick "ecos shader". Click done and close the setting window.
