RenderPearl is engineered for speed: it delivers crisp shadows, tasteful bloom and clean water while squeezing out every last frame. A great middle-ground when you want good looks without the stutter.

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 RenderPearl.
