If you want a shader pack that focuses on water and makes the most abundant substance in Minecraft more pleasing to the eyes, then you might like robobo1221’s Shaders. This pack, which was released in early March of 2014, is compatible with older versions of Minecraft from around that time – that means 1.6 and various iterations of 1.7. It’s still getting regular updates, though, so robobo1221’s Shaders also work with Minecraft 1.12.2 and 1.11. With such a high degree of compatibility, there’s no reason not to give this shader pack a try, unless of course, your computer can’t support the enhanced visuals.
This is one of many packs which could probably be considered resource-intensive in that they require a lot of system resources to give players the best possible experience. Many shader packs are like this, not just robobo1221’s Shaders, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone reading. However, there are a handful of simplistic shaders which work with on-board motherboard graphics too. This is not one of those. You can see it right away in the way light reflects off of water, and the way you get realistic reflections for things standing at the water’s edge, like fences or livestock or even you.
Speaking of requirements, it seems that Nvidia cards do the best with robobo1221’s Shaders mod. That doesn’t mean you can’t get good visuals with AMD or Intel graphics, but Nvidia has the highest degree of compatibility, so those cards would be the best option for anyone who wants the best graphics from this shader pack. The majority of users seem to be stuck in the 30-60 FPS range when using robobo1221’s Shaders, but this probably has more to do with the majority of users having middle-range PCs than the shader pack itself. High-end GPUs, processors and memory totals will allow for up to 100+ FPS.
That’s the thing though – unless you’ve got a really good PC to play Minecraft on, you’re not going to get the best visuals robobo1221’s Shaders has to offer. Even with an average PC though, you get the amazing custom clouds, you get the better skies, you get the better glass and connected textures. As long as you’re running Optifine like you should be, that will really improve the look of robobo1221’s Shaders, sometimes more than an actual hardware upgrade. For features like dynamic water caustics, ripples and waves, you will need a powerful GPU though.

this looks amazing, i only wish something else was done to the water though, if this was mixed with sildur’s water but the same reflection properties? it would be even better
Nice Shader it locks great but i dont see the sun or the Clouds. Any help for me that can I fix it?
Note to moderator: Sorry, there was a glitch the first two times I tried to submit, and the problem ended up being that I had cookies blocked. I re-enabled them, and then all of my old attempts to post suddenly appeared.

Hey, can someone tell me why the person that owns this site, posts my content? I am sorry but i did not gave anyone permission to post my pack here. Can you please remove it from this site and let them just use my site instead? Because i dont want other sites to post my content.

I downloaded it, used forge, installed OptiFine, and yes it makes grass and leaves sway, but there isn’t any actual SHADING. 0 stars, uninstalling now. >:(

I downloaded this with OptiFine, but my entire game (except for server selection, main menu, and in-game escape menu) is completely black and white!!! Please help, I really like how it looks in the screenshots and want to use it SO badly…
The sky for me is not working, not that nice maybe someone who knows to fix this?
