The DMS Shaders is a lightweight shader pack created by DatWeirdPerson (DWP for short). Although the creator DWP was relatively new to coding when the pack was first created, he (or she?) learned a lot in the past and has now successfully produced a well-coded shader pack. This shader pack aims to provide quality graphics while maintaining a high FPS for the game.
Experience a dark fantasy medieval-themed Minecraft as you install this lightweight shader pack made for PCs with low and medium specs.
What the DMS Shaders Pack is About
The Shader pack is about performance and has a minimum requirement, so players with low-end PCs can still run it and enjoy the game.
Mild Dark Fantasy Touch
The pack features a mild dark-fantasy feel and de-saturated, gloomy, and lightly faded visuals. The pack is perfect for medieval-themed gameplay but would also look good on gloomy sci-fi scenes.
Optimized Codes
Although the pack started with unoptimized code, the creator DWP gained experience and re-coded and optimized the codes for the Shader pack. With time, the pack slowly improved performance and reduced the strain on the computer.
Minimized Features
To optimize performance and make the pack usable for low-end computers while maintaining solid gameplay, the pack features fewer effects and flashy visuals than your average shader pack. However, this works well with its dark fantasy theme. Even with the minimized features, the pack still contains waving grass, waving waters, and more.
Should You Use It?
The pack features a mild dark fantasy theme that, in our opinion, looks quite nice even in vanilla Minecraft. The pack shines when combined with medieval-type mods, structures, and worlds. Performance-wise, the DMS Shaders Pack is lightweight and does not consume much of your computer’s resources. The pack is very playable on low-end computers, and the graphics are also quite nice. If you are running a PC with low spec and want to try a shader pack, or if you are looking for a shader pack that does not make your gameplay crawl, then we recommend trying the DMS Shaders and seeing for yourself.

Launch Forge Profile
Launch Minecraft using the "Forge" profile, Optifine will be automatically loaded along with Forge.
Install Chocapic13's Shaders
Now the installation is the same as from the above Optifine instructions, just follow the steps starting from step 5.
System requirements
- OpenGL v2.1 support.
- GPU Shader 4 support.
- (OptiFine) Custom texture support.
- (OptiFine) Custom uniform support.
- (OptiFine) Blending modes support.
- (OptiFine) Skip buffer clearing support.
- (OptiFine) Parent profile program enabling support.
To avoid issues, use the latest OptiFine.
Resource Pack Support
For proper resource pack support with DMS shaders, use the following layout.
Normal Texture:
- R – Normal X
- G – Normal Y
- B – Gloss
- A – Height
Specular Texture:
- R – Emissive
- G – Metallic
- B – Plant
- A – Warm
For the specular texture, 1.0 will replace the shader mask with the texture mask, and 0.0 will set it to nothing. Only use one mask per pixel. A pixel cant has the metallic and plant mask due to limitations in the DMS shaders.
