MakeUp - Ultra Fast
What MakeUp - Ultra Fast is
MakeUp - Ultra Fast is a free shader for Minecraft Java that adds configurable visual effects, with a focus on computers with limited hardware. It aims to balance image quality and performance by letting players enable only the effects they want. Options include shadows, volumetric clouds, temporal anti-aliasing, depth of field, ambient occlusion, water reflection and refraction, motion blur, bloom, chromatic aberration, and auto-exposure. Players can choose and change color schemes. The shader works with OptiFine and Iris, and the repository specifies Iris 1.5.1 or higher. The project says it has been tested with Minecraft Java 1.12 and later; its version listings include releases through 26.x. Windows and Linux are the tested operating systems. Nvidia, AMD, and Intel GPUs are listed as tested, though compatibility is not guaranteed for every model. Shadows and depth of field use more resources and can be disabled for more performance. To install it, place the shader pack in Minecraft's shaderpacks folder. It is licensed under LGPL-3.0, and the project permits use, forking, and modification for any purpose, with credit requested for modifications or use. Downloads are listed on Modrinth and CurseForge, with source on GitHub.
