What Forget-Me-Not Shaders is
Forget-Me-Not Shaders is a semi-realistic shader pipeline for the Can-Pipe Minecraft mod, with visual effects including dynamic seasons, atmospheric skies and clouds, and water waves and reflections. Camera-style features include internal HDR, tone mapping, bloom, and exposure. It also offers hundreds of built-in PBR materials, variable-penumbra shadows, temporal anti-aliasing, and ray-traced contact shadows. The shaderpack is free under LGPL-3.0-only and supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. It requires Can-Pipe, so it does not work with Optifine, Aperture, Iris, or Sodium. The listed Minecraft Java Edition compatibility covers versions 1.20–1.20.2, 1.19.x, and 1.18.2. To install it, add Fabric or NeoForge and Can-Pipe, put the shaderpack ZIP in Minecraft's resourcepacks folder, then select the pipeline in video settings. The maker identifies GitHub and Modrinth as the official download locations; a Discord invite is linked for community discussion.
