Spec score 7.8 #10 of 38 in Minecraft Shader Packs

What it is

Forget-Me-Not Shaders is a free semi-realistic shader pipeline for the Can-Pipe Minecraft mod. It adds dynamic seasons, dramatic skies, realistic atmosphere and clouds, water waves and reflections, and hundreds of built-in PBR materials. Camera-style processing includes HDR, tone mapping, bloom and exposure, alongside advanced temporal anti-aliasing, variable-penumbra shadows and ray-traced contact shadows. The shaderpack supports Minecraft Java Edition versions 1.20–1.20.2, 1.19.x and 1.18.2. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and is licensed under LGPL-3.0-only. Installation requires Fabric or NeoForge and Can-Pipe; the shaderpack ZIP goes in Minecraft’s resourcepacks folder, followed by pipeline selection in video settings. It will not work with Optifine, Aperture, Iris or Sodium because their rendering systems differ. GitHub and Modrinth are identified as the official download locations.
