CaptTatsu’s BSL Shaders 1.19.1 / 1.18.2, which we’ll refer to as just BSL Shaders from here on out, is an advanced shader pack which builds on a few others. As far as GPUs are concerned, it was one of the most compatible shader mods in 2015, though the same can’t be said for 2021. Also, unlike many shader packs which work just fine as standalone mods, BSL Shaders requires Optifine with Shader (found in the + settings menu) to produce the highest quality visuals possible. So, if you don’t already have Optifine installed, you’ll need it to get the most out of this shader pack.
Because BSL Shaders takes some inspiration from Chocapic13’s Shaders, not all of the content here is unique. It’s heavily modded, sure, but credit is still given to the original source materials, without which this mod would have been impossible to make. Colors are bright and come with both a boost and saturation alteration, which gives everything a kind of cel-shaded look. Clouds are still in 2D, and the motion blur effect has been updated to adequately blur textures which find themselves under the new lighting and shadow effects. Things look great throughout, with no noticeable bugs or glitches.
As far as requirements go, the BSL Shaders mod is more demanding than most. If you thought Chocapic13’s Shaders were demanding, you’ll be disappointed to hear that this heavily modded version of that shader pack has higher requirements to go along with its significantly improved visuals. This should just be common sense, but when some shaders can be run using integrated graphics and no GPU at all, it seems like this is an important thing to say. New updates are not exactly forthcoming, which means BSL Shaders do not work with the latest version of Minecraft and probably never will.

How do I get the shader
Hey! These Shaders are great. Im using them on 1.14.2 and they have a great performance and look just beautifully. Ive tried Continuum, SEUS, Silders, Chocapic, KUDA and this one is one of the bests (if not the best) in terms of how great it looks and how many fps it takes away.
Another cool shader mod that was just released not so long that you will find BSL Shaders Mod pretty useful in order to improve the quality graphic of the game for sure.
is it need to install the optifine first?
is it work on Minecraft 1.12.1?
Whyy I can’t see colored glass?? T.T And also the item in my hand is invisible, help meh.. I love this shaderpack but it’s bot working for me.. :(
If you don’t already have a shaders folder, how do you instal it then?
Its only because you have a terrible computer
there is nothing in the shaderpacks folder i am on mac, can anyone help
thx dude but my comp is potato can u buy me a new comp?

When you look at your characters hand when above water then you’ll see that it goes all fuzzy around it.. Please fix. Otherwise it’s a great shader :)
How can i get this ?
ohhh this is awsome shader what the.
So it says that the shader is for MC 1.10.2 but the GLSL Shader Mod says 1.8 . Does it still work in 1.10.2?
Thx
How do u download it from the media fire page
if you replace a file in mediafire the link will stay the same because mediafire makes the link by user posted and name of file
so you can have
BSL Standard
BSL Medium
BSL Ultra
and just update them while keeping the links the same, thought this would help with your download links :)
