A shader made by 3 AI Models, to see how capable they are. Made by billywillydilly, it leans semi realistic and ships colored lighting and reflections. Expect it to run comfortably from medium-tier hardware upward, on Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 via Iris or OptiFine. Licensed GPL-3.0-or-later, so the download is mirrored right here on MineSpecs — no ads, no redirects.

How to install Veridian

1. 1Install a shader loader for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 — Iris (pairs with Sodium) or OptiFine. Veridian is a shaderpack, so it needs a loader to run.
2. 2Download the Veridian .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 Veridian.
