Some guys found a way to get shadows without path tracing using the core shaders system. Since you can't render the world a second time for the shadow map it just renders the shadow map every second frame and then projects the shadows on the first frame, which basically halves your framerate.

Yay he remembers his password for yt

idk why i'm being recommended this THREE years later

Not only did they add vanilla shaders, they actually completely rewrote the rendering engine to update from OpenGL 2.1 to OpenGL 3.3, updated to Java 16 (they had been using the outdated 1.8 for years), and they also made it to where the world height limit can be changed using a datapack. 1.17 is a very under-the-hood heavy update, to say the least.

4:00 Oh my god you can actually see the Squid's animation in that, that's funny and also incredibly cool

i love how one of the instruction points for installing that shader pack is "Do as best as you can to ignore the warnings"

As a programmer, you get my respect for explaining what shaders are

The block bugs in the pathtracing resource pack remind me of how a rendering technique called raymarching can seem to change the actual geometry of models. Really cool, actually!

A CPU gets its speed through instruction level parallelism. Since that parallelism isn't explicit, a TON of hardware is dedicated to tracking and executing instructions to run in parallel and out of order and then putting them back into order again. The result is one or two threads (per core) that run pretty fast. On the other hand, a GPU gets its speed from massive thread-level parallelism. Instead of a few massive beefy CPU cores, there are *thousands* of really simple ones. One pixel isn't computed super fast, but the GPU can compute thousands of pixels in parallel.

Mojang should allocate way more resources into customization and modding of the game, especially documentation, and developer tools. It is in my opinion the single thing that keeps the Minecraft community alive all these years later. Honestly, all these useless mobs and blocks they have been adding lately, aren't interesting enough on their own to keep players coming. Amateur modders have put Mojang to shame for years. Even with all the resources Mojang has, modders still make more interesting content, and faster as well. The extension of Y axis was absolutely the main selling point in 1.17. Now that we have to wait, they could make the shaders more accessible, perhaps by actually writing documentation for it... Same goes for datapacks, and commands, which are a topic for themselves. The commands in Minecraft are probably the most chaotic implementation I have seen that wasn't added by a third party developer. Creating official tools, such as skin and resource pack editors, data pack creators, adding back the world customization that they got rid off, would take the game way further than adding a fucking goat. Now I understand all of these things are possible to do, and if someone wants to understand how to do it, they can. However I'm looking at this from a "Company that wants their game to do well" perspective. You always want to have as big of a reach as possible without compromising your products use and value. Making these tools isn't a problem for Mojang at all, they have all the money and tools they need. If people can do it for free because of the passion for the game, Mojang can do it for the long term investment, that will without a doubt yield in years to come. Why they don't is truly fascinating to me.

During the 1.17 snapshot cycle I really got hyped because og the OpenGL, I thought it was the first step to shaders and new amazing light features to come in vanilla. But I found few resourse pack or people talking about what this can mean for the future.

Such amazing content man, keep up the great work!

I knew this was a thing but i always thought it was extremely limited because i didn't see too much use out of it, awesome video!

The thumbnail alone makes me bring up the fact that window reflections with a reflection of the player are needed. I’ve wanted this for a very long time.

As someone who was trying to get into a career for graphic engineering while I was still studying in Uni, even I wasn't aware you could do this in 1.17 lmao nice! I'm gonna make some absolute wild stencil buffer stuff c:

Suggestion: Making custom advancements and recipes for datapacks! I discovered how to make them, so I would love to see them explained in one of your videos!

finally, a video that talks about shaders in minecraft instead of 100 video tutorials on downloading shaders for optifine. much gratitude

I'm glad I finally found a video with as much enthusiasm for this change as I had when I first saw it!

This looks absolutely amazing. I'm trying to learn how to code shaders currently (having some trouble wrapping my head around the whole rendering procedure), and hopefully I can make something fun for a minecraft resourcepack. Thank you for sharing this, and not being one of *those people* who feel their audiences are too dumb to understand technical terms.

See you in a month when this has like 5 million views

Finally! I've been waiting for someone to talk about vanilla shaders. I've been wondering how to use it but I can't find anyone who talks about it.

Great video !! The drawn to life music in the background is a great too

6:28 in the words of Fundy: "change a number, change some more numbers, compile that boi"

wdym 2 years ago i had no idea

Imagine if we could use this to make effects like heat wave distortion for deserts and the nether!!

4:17 This reminds me exactly of the 4D dimensions videos I watched

This is actually fantastic to know, thank you for giving attention to this, gotta push this to other people's recommended

2:28 ah yes...the software where we delete the cube and paste it back just because why not

It has occurred to me that the texture swapping probably allows for animated mob textures, which could of course also be synchronized with other shaders stuffs- ie, hypothetically you miiiiiiiight find a way to make the eyes of the drowned glow, but have a blinking texture that geys applied every now and then, and have the glow effect turned off for this time. That being said, even though I'm pretty sure it's possible (now), I have no idea how to actually code it.

I was thinking that it's Phoenix SC video. :o You're alive!

I really wish these caught on. They're so cool but there's basically nothing new made using this feature since then. Good thing the ones from this video still work though - I use the rainbow block select all the time and honestly it should replace the vanilla one which is almost invisible

most underrated youtuber ever

Friendship ended with optifine 😎 Jk optifine pls give me my frames back

i know i’m a year late, but that sounds So Exciting! i also know that “another year later” is a very optimistic estimate of when i’ll get to playing with all of that, but when i do, things are gonna get Wonky!!

Ain't no way you're using the drawn to life soundtrack in this video that's awesome

4:11 - looks like 4D Minecraft

Please cover the new replacement for /replaceitem and the new loot table that you can do with it.

This is the first videos of yours I watched. If your others videos are even a little similar I can easily say I love your content. Subscribed

All the minecraft aside, the drawn to life music in the background was a vibe.

3 years later mojang won’t add more than 3 blocks per update

This man needs much more attention!

This is actually so cool! I took a computer graphics course and learned about shaders, I might have to give this a try!

Where do i get that rounded earth resource pack? I couldnt find it from the PhoenixSC video

7:29

Hey legitimoose! Can you do a tutorial on /function please, i am trying to learn every command but i cant find a command channel like yours :

drawn to life music! oh the nostalgia, love that game so much.

Absolutely love your style, comedy and tone (:

Thatcheifguy? Is that you?

Hi! I am a Russian person, I watch your videos, they often help me! The video about writing data packs helped a lot! You are so cool! You deserve more followers!

Hey how do I list the players with the most points in a certain scoreboard objective?

Bro the draw to life music in the background brought back so many memories 😭

2:49 AMAZING

Well, here we go boys. The man's 'bout to go viral, get 100k subs and deserve the exposure he deserves. I AM HERE TO ENGRAVE MY PRESENCE ON THIS VIDEO BEFORE IT BLOWS UP. SO hi.

Wait, you got syntax highlighting and error checking for glsl? Can you please tell what is the name of the extension? It will be very useful for me!

VERY underrated channel thank you :D also which one is the wonky camera angle one?

Sure, 1.6 was a small update. But 1.6 was one of 3 major updates released in 2013. Every version between 1.4.7 and 1.7.4, that is 15 major or minor updates, was released in that same year. Then, there was the April Fools 2.0 update, which included a lot more stuff than you might see in a modern april fools release, 57 snapshots, and 12 prerelease versions. Even at this time, with a team several times smaller than now, the update schedule was much, much faster.

Bedrock edition shaders: All I can do is darker shadows

You deserve much more attention, you are amazing 🙌🙌🙌

ohhh i love that you used drawn to life ost for background music

1.17+ really screwed my Minecraft experiece, all because of this change, which made the game use Java 16 and OpenGL 3.3, and my Intel Graphics only supports up to 3.2 (on windows) Thankfully, I found a work-around, which was installing Linux, and since Linux is open source, there are open source Mesa drivers which support OpenGL 3.3 and up. (still a headache tho)

1.17 is one of the best update no one understands

The glitches in that one resource pack were like an incredible creepypasta

1:34 i know the map was a joke, but whats the resource pack used here?

Just so you don't waste your time, to answer the title question. No

Ahem.. Pocket Edition

Without mathheads, modern technology, let alone gaming, wouldn't exist. I appreciate them so much for it This kinda thing must be a paradise who have fun playing with numbers

First video I've seen from you and I'm already subscribing xD

How easy is it to modify resource packs? I want to have everything wave

Yo good video man! Great work

Hahahaha that ending was really original, got me to subscribe

the drawn to life ost used in this video was so nostalgic

Lets go 3 years later but still nice video bro

great video!! subbed :) ❤

This is one of the few channels I've subscribed to after watching only one video.

I just want to say that I caught the Kirby Air Ride music in the background. Celestial Valley. Fun game with an amazing soundtrack. I haven't played it in ages, and yet I remember the music instantly.

Literally the only video on KZfaq covering this

love your vids keep up the good work :)

Can you make a tutorial for manipulate player camera in minecraft? I need one for my map!

yay! I managed to make a shader that makes moody lighting actually impossible to see in when you're in a dark area :D

Hello legend I am a new subscriber! I really loved you tuturials So could you please make a tuturial about making a simple egg wars with scorboers and eggs destroing and like that.

when i try to join your server it doesn't work it says unable to accept invite

omg this was the best minecraft related video ive seen in a while!

I love the new blender monkey block

Dude.. how has this video not blown up?! This is sick! I've liked and subscribed. But you totally deserve more subs!

Is there a way to use these with Sodium?

Wait... is that Drawn to Life and Kirby Air Ride music in a single video in 2021? You sir take my like.

as soon as i heard the lbp music at the end, my mind flooded

does anyone know how to add multiple "if" variables to an execute command? so the rest of the command will only run if two conditions are met? thanks!

5:53 - Oh my God, even Switzerland is there

Woaaahh :o 6:27 best advice to learn shaders in minecraft

0:57 that completely... It reminds me of him... Rest in peace Techno

i want the bad sphere recourse pack, gib me the link plsssss

Love the editing

I love this channel. So underrated!

Does anybody know what is the shader in 1:35

The glitches when a squid was on screen are actually a block squid. look closely and you see all the tentacles and body as blocks

Do you think you could do a video on firework shows with command blocks

I just realized you used Drawn To Life music, I knew i recognized that

I remember years ago, back then when my computer was barely able to run shaders, I tried looking up shaders texture packs, and back in the day, they were kinda garbage lmao. So it's cool to see this.
