Playing Minecraft with a shader pack significantly reduces the game’s performance. Fortunately, a couple of Shader packs are designed to run smoothly, even on a low-spec PC. This shader pack is one of those!
DocteurDread’s Shaders is a Shader pack for the GLSL Shader Mod / Optifine Mod. This mod adds various visual enhancements and effects like waving grass and leaves, limpid water, god rays, shadows, and more while still trying to keep the performance impact down low. The author and creator of the pack, username docteurdread, claims that his shader pack needs only a $50 graphic card to run the medium version!
DocteurDread’s Lagless Shaders come with six featured packs and pre-sets. These packs are Lite, Low, Medium, High, Ultra, and Extreme – making the pack available for low-end PCs, high-end PCs, and anything in between. This shader pack features a nice balance between vibrant colors and moody lighting, making it good for those who love the vanilla feel. In general, DocteurDread’s Shaders is very optimized and do not have a huge performance drop compared to other shader packs.
For Low Spec PCs
The pack’s first three versions, Lite, Low, and Medium, are designed for low-end PCs and feature the most minor graphical enhancements and performance/frame rate drop. These versions still provide the basic shader pack functions like moving grass but lack the stunning effects and details of the other pack versions.
For Medium to High Spec PCs
The final three versions of DocteurDread, High, Ultra, and Extreme feature advanced effects and stunning graphics like reflective waters, dynamic, high-quality shadows, and more that will make your game gorgeous. However, these versions will dramatically drop performance and are not recommended for low-end PCs.
Customize
For advanced users, many functions and effects of the shader can also be disabled separately by putting “//” in front of the “#define FUNCTION” lines located in the .fsh and .vsh files of the shader pack.
Should You Use It?
As with the other Shader packs, whether you should use it or not all comes down to individual preferences. Although this pack does not boast anything extraordinary, it does deliver a good balance between graphics and performance. If you have been playing vanilla Minecraft a lot, then you’ll find yourself at home with this lovely shader pack.

wow it work for me
It’s a cool shader but theres this weird dark oval covering most of my screen and I don’t know how to fix it.
why the shader don’t work
This is useless. first of all i downloaded medium and low, i would use low in case, then i start my forge-optifine then click on shaders, then click on the Medium shaders but doing that makes minecraft INSTANTLY stop responding and to close it i have to shutdown my pc but before it shutting down cancel it when minecraft is closed. i used low but the same happened.
Not even close
actually it is loading not crashing mine does that u just need to wait… patience my dude
Just how bad is your pc that the initialization of that shader causes a freeze?
It’s a normal situation for a heavy shader packs like SEUS, but not for the potato-level ones.
sounds like a you problem
it’s amazing.I have a pc I didn’t pay for and I have with high 20fps it is smooth and beautiful best shader ever do more of this stuff it’s much better than sflp shader:)
(I’m not a robot, I’m a German potato)
20 fps is not high
20 fps isnt good you might wanna get a better graphics card
I like it man!!!!! very good job.I like shaders!
I agree , nice guy , it’s annoying but there’s an amazing job
every thing is amazing just the when u move the effect of u stuff is blury that is annoying , just reduce it so i can see properly
dude its called ‘motion blur’
(if you read the customise paragraph you know how to disable it)
when i look down it goes pitch black what do i do could i have some help
Great shader pack. Shades and bright parts blends amanzingly. Even on intel. <3
Amazing mod apart from the vignette effect, I find that quite annoying.
you can turn off vignette in shader options
