How do I install Atlas Shaders?

Install OptiFine or Iris Shaders Mod first. Then download the shader and place it in your shaderpacks folder. Full instructions are on our shader install guide linked above.

Will Atlas Shaders run on my PC?

It's built for low to mid-range computers, so it should work fine on most systems. If your PC struggles with vanilla Minecraft, the shader might be too much. But most players see great performance.

Can I use Atlas Shaders with other mods?

Yes, it works fine with most mods. Just make sure you install OptiFine or Iris Shaders Mod before adding the shader. Some mods might conflict, but the majority are compatible.

What's the difference between the standard and PBR versions?

The PBR version supports texture maps like Normal Maps and Specular Maps for more detail. It also works with mods like Twilight Forest. Standard version is simpler and uses less resources.

Can I adjust how the shader looks in-game?

Yes. Atlas lets you tweak tone and other settings right in-game without restarting. Check your shader settings once it's installed.

Atlas Shaders 1.20.1 & 1.19.4 Cartoon Shader

Atlas Shaders brings a cartoon-style look to Minecraft with dreamy visuals and solid performance. Built for low to mid-range computers, it delivers cool effects without tanking your FPS. You get water reflections, volumetric lighting, adjusted weather effects, and full in-game tone controls. Perfect if you want Minecraft to look more stylized without needing a top-tier PC.

Features

Visual Style

Atlas uses an artistic filter that gives Minecraft a polished, dreamy appearance. Think less photorealism, more stylized cartoon vibes. It’s a real change without being over the top.

Water & Lighting

Parallax water looks better with depth and movement. The volumetric lighting isn’t blinding or fake, it just looks right. Cloud rendering improves too, with better volumetric effects.

World Support

Runs in the Overworld, Nether, and End. The PBR version also works with mods like Twilight Forest. Most worlds will look great without extra mods though.

Performance

Designed to run smooth on most systems. You don’t need a high-end GPU to use it. That’s the whole point, honestly.

Advanced Options

The PBR version supports Normal Maps and Specular Maps if you want extra detail on your textures.
