Chocapic13 Shaders Mod 1.15.2/1.14.4/1.12.2 (Very Special Shader)

5 min readSep 3, 2020

As you know the original Minecraft has quite normal graphics, if not quite bad, and it looks like a game for children. And to meet the increasing aesthetic demands of the Miner community, more and more beautiful and quality shaders were born.

Chocapic13 Shaders Mod is Minecraft Mod, significantly improved graphics for the Minecraft survival game. In this article, we will focus on the features of the Chocapic13 Shaders Mod and the experiences of playing Minecraft with this mod.

The features of the Chocapic13 Shaders Mod

What Will I Learn?

Chocapic13 Shaders Mod is a graphical upgrade mod that makes the images in the Minecraft game more beautiful. To get this, you must use 3 special features of the Chocapic13 Shaders Mod.

Parallax occlusion mapping (POM) is an enhancement of the parallax mapping technique. Parallax occlusion mapping is used to procedurally create 3D definition in textured surfaces, using a displacement map (similar to a topography map) instead of through the generation of new geometry.[1] This allows developers of 3D rendering applications to add 3D complexity in textures, which correctly change relative to perspective and with self occlusion in real time (self-shadowing is additionally possible), without sacrificing the processor cycles required to create the same effect with geometry calculations. This feature provides additional support for the block and the reflection effect of the water surface.

Bump mapping is a texture mapping technique in computer graphics for simulating bumps and wrinkles on the surface of an object. This is achieved by perturbing the surface normals of the object and using the perturbed normal during lighting calculations. The result is an apparently bumpy surface rather than a smooth surface although the surface of the underlying object is not changed. This is a simple, economical method to add a reflection, support effect.

With the increasing aesthetic demand, shaders pack authenticity is an issue that is concerned as much by modders as possible because for users, the impression of a shaders mod “shimmering or” “ perfect” is the most important thing. Classic is a special feature that will make your machine “struggle” and render at tortoise speed, but the results it brings can be said to be beyond imagination. Despite the impressive set of lighting, shadow and water shadow effects, this feature does not make much of a difference when shooting in places with low light sources, low light contrast, resulting in poor colors pale and unremarkable.

The experiences when playing

Chocapic13 Shaders Mod helps to make the game world smooth and smooth, and the player feels like immersed in a beautiful and real open space. There you will see the scenery of a dark night shrouded by trees and the moon shining. The shadow effect is effectively used in real time, creating a more natural light, reflecting the silhouette of trees and water surface like in real life. Even when it rains, the ground will be wet and reflect the water’s light.

Old Lighting : OFF or DEFAULT!
Vignette : Fast
Clear water : Off for Lite/Low/Medium, On for High/Ultra/Extreme
Smooth Lighting Level : 55–75% for Lite/Low/Medium/High, 0–20% for Ultra/Extreme
Clouds : Default or OFF

About performance and sytem requirements:

This mod is very demanding and if you can’t run default minecraft correctly, don’t try to install this mod.
In my case with a GTX 670 i get around 50–60 fps with the extreme version, 75–80 with ultra,90–95 with high, 100–110 with medium and above 150 with low (cpu limited here) with a 16 chunks render distance. This can change a lot depending on the situation.

Into the shaderpack folders there are .fsh and .vsh files. You can open them with any text editor, and there are different constant that you can change by yourself.
You can increase the render resolution into the shaderpack settings. x1.42… correspond to SSAA x2, x2.0 to SSAA x4. However it kills the framerate.
Shadow render resolution can be increased too here.

Hopefully this article will help you better understand the Chocapic13 Shaders Mod and have a pleasant experience playing this mod.
