3. 3Drop the .zip into your .minecraft/shaderpacks folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\shaderpacks on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/shaderpacks on macOS).

Performance & what to expect

WpyQwq gives ApexShader no performance rating, so check your frame rate at your usual render distance. It renders atmosphere, bloom, colored lighting, foliage, path tracing, pbr and shadows. The look is realistic. Because it supports PBR, it looks its best with a matching texture set — browse our free resource packs for one with normal and specular maps.
