Resource Pack

Enabling glass pane fix

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

Installing resource pack

Assuming you already have downloaded the texture pack, move the downloaded resourcepack.zip files to the resourcepack folder in your .minecraft directory, then in-game go to Options > Resource Pack, select the resource pack(s) on the left side.

A texture pack might have additional addons, the addons must be loaded at the top of the “Basic” pack in any order.

Shaders

Choosing the right shader

For any of my texture 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 > Shaders and select the downloaded shader.

Configuring Shaders

Shader settings

In order to achieve screenshot like results we need to change some settings and enable the resourcepack features, to find the recommended settings for your desired shader please move to the shader settings page.
