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.

How to install RenderPearl

1. 1Install a shader loader for Minecraft 1.21.10 – 26.1 — Iris (pairs with Sodium) (its author supports Iris only). RenderPearl is a shaderpack, so it needs a loader to run.
2. 2Download the RenderPearl .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 RenderPearl.
