What Bliss Shaders is
Bliss Shaders is a free shaderpack for Minecraft Java Edition that emphasizes fantasy-style visuals, scene variation, and configurable effects. It is designed for Minecraft Java Edition 1.17.0 and later, and the maker describes it as an edit of Chocapic13's V9 shaders. Iris is listed as a requirement; OptiFine might work as well. Settings cover lighting, weather, clouds, water, and post-processing, with effects such as shadows, ambient occlusion, global illumination, reflections, fog, volumetric lighting, depth of field, and motion blur. A separate settings section addresses Distant Horizons support. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia graphics are listed as supported, while Apple devices have limited support due to OpenGL version restrictions. The maker offers release, stable, and unstable builds; unstable versions may have bugs or missing features. Downloads come as ZIP files from GitHub or distribution pages. The project directs users to Discord for help, reports, requests, and unstable-build testing. Its CurseForge listing gives the license as All Rights Reserved. It also warns of lightning flashes during thunderstorms and flashing effects in The End.
