Not all shader packs make drastic changes to the visuals in Minecraft. Simplicissimus Shaders prides itself on making only minimal changes for visual quality boosts that don’t demand more resources. This is clear when basic features like vanilla lightmaps and clouds, ugly as they are, are left as is with this shader. This doesn’t allow for any great shadows, but lighting effects are somewhat improved, making brighter colors, like wool and some objects, really pop and stand out. Simplicissimus works on Windows, Linux, and Mac, which is rare since features tend to conflict with at least one of those operating systems most of the time.
It’s not an issue with the Simpliccismus shader pack because the biggest changes are some wind and motion blur effects. There is a bit of bloom when standing right underneath very bright lights like the sun or right next to lava sources. This pack was last updated more than two years ago, so it’s not up to date, but all features are still working on the latest version of Minecraft. Iris or Optifine versions 1.12 and up should work fine, but there will probably be issues running the latest version of Minecraft, Try 1.19 or dial back to an earlier version of the game through the options. Some bugs, like a solid white sky, can be resolved by turning off the custom sky feature in Optifine. Because Simplicissimus doesn’t do much with sky effects, it’s not like you miss anything by doing this. The shader pack just works better.
