Resource Pack

Enabling glass pane fix

In-game go to Options > Resource Packs..., then make sure to enable the built in “Glass Pane Fix” resource pack from continuity.

NOTE: Make sure to keep the Glass Pane Fix resource pack below other resource pack(s).

Installing resource pack

Assuming you already have downloaded your desired resource pack, move the downloaded resourcepack.zip file(s) to the resourcepack folder in your .minecraft directory, then in-game go to Options > Resource Packs..., select the resource pack(s) on the left side to load them, active resource packs will appear on the right side.

For resource pack with addons, make sure to load the "Basic" resource pack below it's respective addons.

Shaders

Choosing the right shader

For any of my resource packs it is recommended to use a fully LabPBR compliant shader, here’s a list of LabPBR shaders to choose from https://wiki.shaderlabs.org/wiki/LabPBR_Supported_Packs.

After downloading the desired shader paste the shader.zip file in your shaderpacks directory.

Now in-game go to Options > Video settings > Shader packs... then select the downloaded shader and click apply.
