Bliss Shaders is a fantasy-style shaderpack for Minecraft Java Edition that focuses on changing scenes and letting players adjust visual 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. Settings cover lighting, weather, clouds, water, and post-processing. Listed effects include shadows, colored flood-fill lighting, ambient occlusion, global illumination, water refraction and reflections, fog, volumetric lighting, subsurface scattering, depth of field, and motion blur. A separate settings section covers Distant Horizons support. Iris is listed as a requirement; OptiFine might work as well. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia graphics are supported, while Apple devices have limited support because of OpenGL version restrictions. The free shaderpack is available as a ZIP from GitHub or distribution pages. Release, stable, and unstable versions are offered, with unstable builds potentially containing bugs or missing features. The project directs users to Discord for help, bug reports, feature requests, and unstable-build testing. Its listing gives the license as All Rights Reserved. It also warns of lightning flashes during thunderstorms and flashing effects in The End.
