🥔 Baked Potato Shaders
Baked Potato Shaders is a lightweight cinematic shaderpack designed to enhance Minecraft's atmosphere while maintaining smooth performance. Rather than chasing ultra-realistic visuals, it focuses on natural lighting, immersive weather, beautiful skies, and carefully crafted environments that stay true to Minecraft's original style.
Built with performance in mind, Baked Potato Shaders is optimized for Apple Silicon (M1) and is fully compatible with Iris + Sodium.
⚠️ The shader is still under active development. Future updates will focus on visual polish, optimization, stability, and bug fixes while preserving its lightweight design.
