Spec score 8.1 #7 of 38 in Minecraft Shader Packs

What it is

Bliss Shaders is a free shaderpack for Minecraft Java Edition, designed for version 1.17.0 and later. It focuses on fantasy-style scene variation and adjustable visual effects. Settings cover lighting, weather, clouds, water, and post-processing; listed effects include shadows, colored flood-fill lighting, ambient occlusion, global illumination, water refraction, reflections, fog, volumetric lighting, subsurface scattering, depth of field, and motion blur. A separate settings section covers Distant Horizons support. The maker describes the project as an edit of Chocapic13's V9 shaders. Iris is listed as a requirement, while OptiFine might work as well. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia graphics are listed as supported, but Apple devices have limited support due to OpenGL version restrictions. Release, stable, and unstable builds are available; unstable builds may have bugs or missing features. The project directs users to Discord for help, bug reports, feature requests, and testing unstable builds. Downloads are ZIP files from GitHub or distribution pages. The project warns about lightning flashes during thunderstorms and flashing effects in The End.
