How To Get Shaders For Minecraft Windows 10 Edition

The best shaders for Minecraft Java edition of 2020! Please note that I left every shader to its default settings, so even though there are settings ingame for changing the shader quality and performance, this comparison is based on the default values.

Minecraft is a unique game with a unique blocky style, but if you're tired of vanilla graphics, you can add shaders to the Java version for a more lifelike appearance. We've rounded up five of the. Begin by browsing our add-ons section and find one which you want to download. In this case we. If not, open the Minecraft settings page and go to the 'Global Resources' tab. Expand the 'My Packs' section and click on the 'Activate' button under the shader pack. Doing the above action will active the shader pack and moves it to the top.

1. SEUS Renewed

Download from: Official SEUS site

Performance requirement: High

Latest version of the legendary SEUS shader. Previously I used both SEUS v10 and v11 and loved them both.


2. Sildur's Vibrant Shaders (Extreme)

Download from: Official Sildur's site

Performance requirement: Medium

Very colorful and 'happy' feeling shader. Even though this is the extreme version of the shader, the performance requirement is quite medium – even on the lower end of this list.


3. Sildur's Vibrant Shaders (Lite)

Download from: Official Sildur's site

Performance requirement: Medium-Low?

The previous one was the extreme version, this is the lite version. I see very little change in frame rate between the two versions. Maybe they truly are that similar in FPS, or maybe Minecraft just utilizes the extra frames to something else. Just give it a try if the higher end versions lag!


4. Chocapic13 V8 (Ultra)

Download from: Curse Forge

Performance requirement: Medium-High

I have never used Chocapic13's shaders to my knowledge, but I think it is pretty popular, so I included it in this list. Has pretty 'realistic' feeling, and decent frame rates.


5. Continuum 2

Download from: Official Continuum site

Performance requirement: Extreme

How To Get Shaders For Minecraft Windows 10 Edition

Very realistic shader with a high performance impact. Not sure how much it can be customized for lower performance impact – as I said in the beginning, these performance values are based on the default shader settings.


6. Continuum v1.3

Download from: Official Continuum site

Performance requirement: Extreme

Honestly, I kinda prefer the older Continuum version to the new Continuum 2. I like the colors, and I used to use it in my cinematic back couple years ago. Very high performance hit, but if your computer can handle it, it can give very nice screenshots for an example.


7. KUDA Shaders v6.1

Download from: KUDA's developer site

Performance requirement: Medium

Another legendary shader, stands next to SEUS in my opinion. There's a newer shader from the same creator as KUDA called 'projectLuma', but it did not work for me for some reason – that's why I wanted to go with the classic KUDA instead.


8. Robobo1221's Shader v7.1 (Extreme)

How To Get Shaders For Minecraft Windows 10 Edition Mod

Download from: Minecraft Forum

Performance requirement: Extreme

Extreme performance requirements, very beautiful. Has very nice weather effects, which makes it really stand out in this comparison. Check out the video above!


9. Robobo1221's Shader v7.1 (Medium)

Download from: Paradox Forum (Link disabled, as I think the forum got hacked – it redirects me to scam ads)

Alternative download: Github

Performance requirement: Medium

More performance friendly version. Has some features missing from the extreme version, but way higher frame rates. Choose the version that better suits your desktop computer or laptop!


10. Sushi Shaders v2

Download from: Minecraft Forum

Performance requirement: Medium

Sushi Shaders has pretty unique colors compared to the rest, so I decided to include it. I also like the water, but the color screme is a bit too cold/blue for my liking.

In this tutorial we are going to show you how to install add-ons for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta. Add-ons were first introduced in version 0.16.0!

There are two ways to install add-ons. Some add-ons download as a .mcworld / .mcpack. To install it you need to go to your Downloads folder. Double-click on the file and it will automatically be imported to your game. It might ask you to select an app to open it with. Just select to open it with Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.

If you downloaded a .ZIP or .RAR file then use the following tutorial:

1. Begin by browsing our add-ons section and find one which you want to download. In this case we are going to try the More Chairs Add-on.

2. The download usually includes either a .ZIP or .RAR file. It’s a compressed file which you need to extract using a program such as 7-Zip or WinRAR. We recommend using 7-Zip as it’s completely free and really easy to use.

3. Find the [Add-on] More Chairs By Genta.zipfile on your computer. Normally it is found in your downloaded files. Double-click the zip file (or right-click it and select “Open with…” and select 7-Zip) to open it.

4. Select both of the two folders and then click “Extract”.

5. Select the location where you want to extract the two folders or use the default one. Then click “OK”.

6. Open your “Downloads” folder or wherever you selected to extract the folders.

Each add-on is usually a bit different from the other. Sometimes there is just one folder which you need to install and sometimes (as in this case) there are multiple.

Let’s begin by installing the behavior pack folder: [Behavior pack] More Chairs by Genta. Select the folder and press CTRL + C (or right-click it and copy it).

7. Once you’ve copied the folder go to the following location on your computer using the file explorer:

Here you will find two new folders

  • behavior_packs (usually for textures)
  • resource_packs (usually for behaviors, e.g. json files)
Get

Open the behavior_packs folder and press CTRL + V (or right-click somewhere in that folder and press “Paste”).

You’ve now installed the behavior pack.

8. Open up your “Downloads” folder again and find the [Textures] More Chairs by Genta folder. Select it and press CTRL + C (or right-click it and select “Copy”).

9. Open the com.mojang folder again and then open the resource_packs folder:

Paste the folder here by pressing CTRL + V (or by right-clicking in the folder and click “Paste”).

10. To use it in-game there are still some things left to do. Start Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta.

Create a new world (or edit an existing world). In this case, we will create a new world.

11. Add (or edit) all the settings you want for your world and then scroll down in the left sidebar to find two tabs/buttons for Resource Packs and Behavior Packs.

12. Select Resource Packs and add the More Chairs addon from the list.

Get

13. Then do the same thing for Behavior Packs.

14. Enter the new world and you will find some new items in your inventory. Use them to spawn the chairs! This same tutorial works of course for any other add-on!
