Arc
An attempt at a mostly realistic shader that maintains decent performance; for Minecraft Java.
A shader for Iris & Optifine that aims to providing realistic visuals with very minimal performance loss. Almost every effect/feature can be fine-tuned for the ideal balance between performance and quality. This project is still in beta but will be reaching initial release very soon!

Resource Packs
Supports LabPBR and OldPBR texture formats; The default setting for materials is "vanilla", which hard-codes a limited set of PBR material values for the original Minecraft textures.
The recommended resource pack is Patrix; when used make sure to set the shader setting for Material Format to "Patrix", as it uses a special combination of OldPBR and LabPBR formats.
Compatibility & Support
For best results use Iris 1.6 or later; however most features should work with Optifine or Oculus. If you have any suggestions or requests, you can reach out to me on the ShaderLabs Discord.
