KUDA-Shaders is a shader pack that will change the whole look in Minecraft completely. It basically adds shadows, new lightning system, godrays and other effects. Unlike other realistic shader packs, this one is much faster and customizable, which sp. Minecraft ray tracing. To make ray tracing work in Minecraft, you can download Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders (SEUS) Renewed.The shader is currently in version 1.0.1, updated in February, 2020. To enhance Minecraft experience, you can install custom shaders. Here's how you can install shaders in Windows 10 Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Compared to Minecraft Java Editon, Minecraft Windows 10 or Bedrock edition is pretty lightweight and uses far fewer resources.

The best shaders for Minecraft Java edition of 2020! Please note that I left every shader to its default settings, so even though there are settings ingame for changing the shader quality and performance, this comparison is based on the default values.

If you play MCPE, check out the best shaders for it over here: Best MCPE shaders.

1. SEUS Renewed

Download from: Official SEUS site

Performance requirement: High

Latest version of the legendary SEUS shader. Previously I used both SEUS v10 and v11 and loved them both.

2. Sildur's Vibrant Shaders (Extreme)

Download from: Official Sildur's site

Performance requirement: Medium

Very colorful and 'happy' feeling shader. Even though this is the extreme version of the shader, the performance requirement is quite medium – even on the lower end of this list.

3. Sildur's Vibrant Shaders (Lite)

Download from: Official Sildur's site

Performance requirement: Medium-Low?

The previous one was the extreme version, this is the lite version. I see very little change in frame rate between the two versions. Maybe they truly are that similar in FPS, or maybe Minecraft just utilizes the extra frames to something else. Just give it a try if the higher end versions lag!

4. Chocapic13 V8 (Ultra)

Download from: Curse Forge

Performance requirement: Medium-High

I have never used Chocapic13's shaders to my knowledge, but I think it is pretty popular, so I included it in this list. Has pretty 'realistic' feeling, and decent frame rates.

5. Continuum 2

Download from: Official Continuum site

Performance requirement: Extreme

Very realistic shader with a high performance impact. Not sure how much it can be customized for lower performance impact – as I said in the beginning, these performance values are based on the default shader settings.

6. Continuum v1.3

Download from: Official Continuum site

Performance requirement: Extreme

Honestly, I kinda prefer the older Continuum version to the new Continuum 2. I like the colors, and I used to use it in my cinematic back couple years ago. Very high performance hit, but if your computer can handle it, it can give very nice screenshots for an example.

7. KUDA Shaders v6.1

Download from: KUDA's developer site

Performance requirement: Medium

Another legendary shader, stands next to SEUS in my opinion. There's a newer shader from the same creator as KUDA called 'projectLuma', but it did not work for me for some reason – that's why I wanted to go with the classic KUDA instead.

8. Robobo1221's Shader v7.1 (Extreme)

Download from: Minecraft Forum

Performance requirement: Extreme

Extreme performance requirements, very beautiful. Has very nice weather effects, which makes it really stand out in this comparison. Check out the video above!

9. Robobo1221's Shader v7.1 (Medium)

Download from: Paradox Forum (Link disabled, as I think the forum got hacked – it redirects me to scam ads)

Alternative download: Github

Performance requirement: Medium

More performance friendly version. Has some features missing from the extreme version, but way higher frame rates. Choose the version that better suits your desktop computer or laptop!

10. Sushi Shaders v2

Download from: Minecraft Forum

Performance requirement: Medium

Sushi Shaders has pretty unique colors compared to the rest, so I decided to include it. I also like the water, but the color screme is a bit too cold/blue for my liking.

Continuum 2.1 is the natural evolution of Continuum 2.0. It comes with a further refined and optimized code-base, with which we are able to push effects not seen in most ‘AAA’ titles, with better performance than ever before. Continuum 2.1 is designed to suite the needs of cinematic creators, builders, and general Minecraft players alike, while still offering many advanced tools and features you’d only find in modern rendering engines. Continuum 2.1 is currently only available via our Continuum Early Access package, which you can find in the store, however, once it exits Early Access it will see a full free release, much like 2.0 did. Read on for more info…

Continuum 2.1 is designed in two stages; the lighting stage, and the toning stage. In the lighting stage we do our best to assure proper energy by rendering with real measured values. Coming with a physically based Sky, Material System, Ambient Light, Reflections, and Volumetrics (Clouds, Air and Water); Continuum can make any Minecraft build look like it was exported from offline renderers, but in real time*.

*Performance will vary depending on your hardware configuration. Continuum is optimized, but some of the effects being used are quite expensive regardless.

Continuum 2.1 comes equipped with a physically based camera system. This means that we are simulating a raw camera inside the game. Using common values such as Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, and Exposure, the user can line up the perfect screenshot, just like you would with a camera, but in Minecraft!

Continuum 2.1 will offer a highly intuitive and configurable color grading system. Everything down to the tonemap will be configurable, with options to adjust the toe, slope, and shoulder of the tonemap, the user can truly make the shader their own. Other settings will include White Balance, Contrast, Vibrance, Saturation, Gain, and many more, making adjustments is easy and convenient. However, if that isn’t enough for your needs, we will allow you to upload a custom LUT into the shader just to make sure we offer anything a cinematographer would need.

Seus Shader For Minecraft Windows 10 64-bit

Continuum Early Access is a one time purchase that grants access to the currently in development shader, Continuum 2.1, at each of the following stages of development:

ALPHA

Alpha Builds are the latest builds of the shader. These will give you access to what the devs are working on as they are working on it. They may be a bit more buggy than other builds at times.

BETA

Beta Builds are released when we have reached a significant milestone where the shader is in mostly working order, and is considered by the developers to be ‘feature complete’.

RC

Release Candidates are nearly complete versions of the shader, generally far more stable than any of the others. These builds are nearly fully featured and are just lacking that last bit of polish.

Minecraft Seus Shaders Pe

Continuum Early Access will grant you access to Continuum 2.1 and potential future versions of the mainline, non-RT Continuum Shader while they are still in active development. This allows you to play with the absolute latest stuff we are working on as we are working on it.

It also supports the projects continued development, and us, which we appreciate very much.

Continuum 2.0

Much like Continuum 2.1 is the natural evolution of Continuum 2.0, 2.0 is the natural evolution of 1.3. It boasts a completely new codebase, marking the first time a Continuum shader was not based on SEUS code. It was a landmark release for Continuum Graphics, and while it has it's issues, will always be special to us.

Continuum 1.3

Continuum 1.3 was the pinnacle of what the Continuum team could do within the bounds of old SEUS O3 shader code, and despite it being fairly outdated by modern Minecraft shader standards, is still a favorite of many of our fans to this day. It will live on in spirit and overall feel, but be brought into the modern age with the release of Continuum Legacy.
