A professional tool for developers. Made by LoLip_p, it leans vanilla-like and ships PBR. Expect it to run comfortably from potato-tier hardware upward, on Minecraft 1.16 – 26.2 via Iris or OptiFine. Licensed MIT, so the download is mirrored right here on MineSpecs — no ads, no redirects.

How to install Debug View

1. 1Install a shader loader for Minecraft 1.16.5 – 26.2 — Iris (pairs with Sodium) or OptiFine. Debug View is a shaderpack, so it needs a loader to run.
2. 2Download the Debug View .zip from the button above — keep it zipped. It is mirrored on MineSpecs, so there is no ad-gate or redirect.
3. 3Drop the .zip into your .minecraft/shaderpacks folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\shaderpacks on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/shaderpacks on macOS).
4. 4Launch the game, open Options → Video Settings → Shaders, and select Debug View.

Performance & what to expect

Debug View is rated potato performance impact. It is the lightest tier in the catalogue — it runs on integrated graphics and older laptops. It renders pbr. The look is vanilla like. 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.
