Do I need a special texture pack for Origin Shader?

Yes, you'll want a PBR (Physically Based Rendering) texture pack to see the shader's full potential. Vanilla PBR is a good free option that pairs well with this shader.

Will this work on my phone?

It depends on your GPU. The shader was tested on Android devices with Adreno 730 GPUs. Other GPUs might struggle, especially on Mali chips. You'll probably get frame drops either way since this is experimental.

Is this shader finished?

Not yet. It's an experimental fork showing off deferred rendering. Expect bugs and poor performance. It's more of a tech preview than a stable release.

How do I load the shader and texture pack in the right order?

In your world settings, make sure the shader pack appears above the texture pack in your active resource packs. The shader needs to load first to work correctly.

Which Minecraft version does this need?

This shader is built for Minecraft Bedrock 1.20. Use the version that matches your game version. There's no Java Edition support.

Origin Shader 1.20 - Deferred Rendering

Origin Shader 1.20 Overview

Origin Shader 1.20 is an experimental fork that brings deferred rendering to Minecraft Pocket Edition. It’s built on the Origin Shader 3.5.8 codebase but strips things down to focus on new rendering tech. If you want to see what modern Minecraft graphics could look like, this is worth testing out.

What’s Included

New features in this version:

Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
Emissive lighting

From the original shader:

Chunk animations

Not in this version (but in the original):

The Milky Way
Redstone Tools
Water caustics
Light and chunk borders

Performance Notes

Be aware: this shader is experimental. It’s incomplete, has bugs, and it lags. A lot. Use a PBR texture pack to get the best results. We recommend Vanilla PBR. Make sure the shader loads above your texture pack in your resource packs list.

Tested on:

Android 1.20.40.22 Preview with Adreno 730 GPU
Windows 1.20.30.20 Preview with GTX 1660
