Anyone who is familiar with Minecraft is well aware that the game’s general graphics are pixelated and primitive. While this has a touch of simplicity and nostalgia to it, some may find this aesthetic to be rough and stale after a while. So what does one do to freshen up the graphical experience of Minecraft? Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders, also known as SEUS, is a great way to reinvent the game’s graphics from bland to breathtaking.
Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders (SEUS) overhauls nearly everything about the game’s graphics. With this shader pack, the water looks clear and fluid, plants look alive and seem to sway back and forth as if they were breathing, and nighttime feels even spookier than ever. Certain aspects about vanilla have connected textures, but those pale in comparison to Sonic Ether’s shaders. Bodies of water, whether small or huge and open, look like a uniform piece–just like they do with real bodies of water. On a windy day, trees and tall grass will dance back in forth in the breeze, and Sonic Ether’s shaders incorporate that sense of animation.
The lighting is quite possibly this shader pack’s greatest virtue. The stale, bleak light offered in vanilla does not give a sense of atmosphere as they do in this shader pack. In fact, most of the light sources in vanilla seem as though they be the same. Yellow light is quite easily the most common, seen from torches, glowstone, lava, fire, and the sun. With this shader pack, color is reintroduced and reborn with each and every light source. Torchlight looks absolutely different from moonlight, just as it should. To add to this, shadows are heavily implemented as well. Something even as small as the grass on the ground can cast a vibrant and deep shadow, perfectly matching up to the sun’s location of course. Daylight is crisp and bright, striking a noticeable difference from the pale light of the moon or torches while in a cave. If all of the game’s lighting features seem the same, Sonic Ether’s shaders is a vibrant way to shake that up.
The sky textures are also one of the most notable features this shaders pack has to offer. The clouds commonly seen in vanilla are pixelated and scattered as if from a predesigned pattern. In this shaders pack, clouds look thin, whispy, and mobile–comparable to the clouds seen just out your window. Looking skyward with this shaders pack will replace those yellow squares with a living image of real clouds. While such realistic clouds may seem to stick out from the traditional pixel aesthetic Minecraft has, the two aspects complement each other quite well. This is most likely due to how Sonic Ether’s shaders overhaul almost everything else about the game, and real clouds go great with real sunshine. Real weather is excellent proof of this.
As with any overhaul texture pack or general shaders pack, it is highly recommended to run Sonic Ether’s shaders on a computer that can handle the graphical overhaul. While these features are beautiful and realistic, older computers may have a hard time keeping up with the profound and vibrant graphical changes.

SEUS Shaders allow you to change more than 60 settings to suit your needs.
| Settings | Description | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Texture Resolution | Resolution of current resource pack. This needs to be set properly for reflections! Make sure to use a resource pack with consistent resolution for correct reflections! |
|
| Atmospherics Godrays, clouds, and atmosphere | ||
| Atmospheric Godrays | Enables volumetric lighting from sunlight (aka "Godrays") while not under water. |
|
| Cumulus Clouds | Whether to draw cumulus clouds. Impacts performance, especially if Clouds in GI and/or Clouds in Reflections are enabled |
|
| Cirrus Clouds | Whether to draw cirrus clouds. Doesn't impact performance as much as cumulus clouds. Impacts performance, especially if Clouds in GI and/or Clouds in Reflections are enabled |
|
| Blocky Clouds | Whether to draw cumulus clouds in a blocky shape. For that Minecrafty feel. |
|
| Clouds in GI | Whether to consider clouds in GI light tracing. Allows clouds to impact ambient lighting color at the cost of performance. |
|
| Clouds in Reflections | Whether to draw clouds in reflections. Allows clouds to appear in reflections at the cost of performance. |
|
| Water | ||
| Water Parallax |
| |
| Water Fog Density | Determines how foggy/murky water appears. Lower this value for clearer waters. |
|
| Lighting Lighting colors and intensities | ||
| Candlelight Color Temp | Color temperature of candle light in Kelvin. |
|
| Sunlight Intensity | Adjusts the relative brightness of sunlight versus sky/ambient light. |
|
| Torchlight Color Temp | Color temperature of torch light in Kelvin. |
|
| Block Light Intensity | How bright light from solid blocks is. |
|
| Torch Light Intensity | How bright light from torches is. |
|
| Dynamic Held Light | Enables held items to emit light into the scene. The light emitted is always torch-colored for now! |
|
| Light Leak Fix |
| |
| Surface All about rendering of surfaces and textures | ||
| Texture Resolution | Resolution of current resource pack. This needs to be set properly for reflections! Make sure to use a resource pack with consistent resolution for correct reflections! |
|
| Rain Wet Effect | Forces all surfaces to get wet when it rains, becoming reflective. |
|
| Rain Splash Effect | Rain ripples/splashes on water and wet blocks. |
|
| Water Parallax |
| |
| Physically Based Max Roughness | If disabled, materials that are 100% rough will have zero specular highlights (legacy SEUS behavior). If enabled, even 100% rough materials still show some subtle specular highlights. This can cause slowdown if "Full Raytrace Reflections" is on! |
|
| Wet Caves Effect | Experimental! Wets surfaces unlit by sky or block light, which results in wet caves, but also wet not-caves. |
|
| Texture LOD Bias | Higher values preserves details in textures but can lead to instability, ghosting, and reduced performance. Lower values will improve image stability and performance but can lead to lower res looking textures at distance and grazing angles. |
|
| Parallax Occlusion Mapping | 3D effect for resource packs with heightmaps. Make sure Texture Resolution is set properly! |
|
| Anisotropic LOD Bias | When enabled, preserves details on surfaces at higher grazing angles. Similar tradeoffs as Texture LOD Bias. |
|
| Smooth Parallax Surface | Smooths out the result of POM so that the resulting surface has smooth slopes instead of hard edged pixels. |
|
| Specular Tex Smoothness | Which channel (red, green, blue, or alpha) to read from the specular texture to determine smoothness. SEUS uses the red channel by default. |
|
| Specular Tex Metalness | Which channel (red, green, blue, or alpha) to read from the specular texture to determine metalness. SEUS uses the green channel by default |
|
| Smoothness as Roughness | If true, the specular texture channel used to determine smoothness will instead be interpreted as roughness (0 - perfectly smooth, 255 - maximally rough). SEUS uses smoothness (0 - maximally rough, 255 - perfectly smooth) by default. |
|
| Raytracing Raytracing! | ||
| Full Raytrace Reflections | OFF: only surfaces with high smoothness values will render reflections. ON: Allow rougher surfaces to render reflections (higher computational cost). This can cause big slowdowns with lots of semi-rough surfaces! |
|
| GI Filter Quality | Quality of GI filter. |
|
| Screen-Space Reflection Tracing | Allows for surfaces in screen-space to show up in reflections that wouldn't otherwise (mobs, grass, etc.). |
|
| Screen-Space GI Tracing | Allows for surfaces in screen-space to cast indirect shadows and lighting that wouldn't otherwise (mobs, grass, etc.). If enabled, can leave weird ghosty shadows when GI Responsiveness is low. |
|
| Reflection Trace Length | The maximum ray length of ray traced reflections. Higher values result in reflections tracing farther into the world at a higher cost. Lower values can can cause leaking in large indoor areas! |
|
| Diffuse GI Trace Length | The maximum ray length of path traced diffuse GI. Higher values result in more accurate lighting, taking farther away surfaces into account, at a higher cost. Lower values can cause leaking in large indoor areas! |
|
| Reduced Secondary GI Range | When enabled, reduces the maximum range at which secondary light bounces are rendered. Can improve performance in complex worlds. |
|
| GI Responsiveness | How well GI responds to lighting changes over time. High responsiveness allows lighting to respond to changes more rapidly, but can cause instability and decreased detail. Low responsiveness allows more samples to accumulate over time and offers increased detail and stability but causes laggy lighting. |
|
| Glowing Redstone Block | If enabled, redstone blocks are treated as light sources for GI |
|
| Glowing Lapis Lazuli Block | If enabled, lapis lazuli blocks are treated as light sources for GI |
|
| Glowing Emerald Block | Glowing Emerald Block |
|
| GI Leaf Transparency | Allows leaves to partially transmit lighting in GI, instead of fully blocking it like a full solid cube. May impact performance in certain situations. |
|
| Secondary GI Samples | How many samples to trace for the secondary GI tracing. Higher samples reduces the "disco floor" artifact mostly seen in reflections at the cost of performance. |
|
| Geometry Trace Quality | 0 - No blocks are ray traced with their specual shapes (slabs, stairs, etc.). 1 - Some blocks are traced with special shapes (stairs, slabs, doors, fences). 2 - All blocks (that have been coded so far) are traced with their special shapes. Lower setting causes artifacts but is faster. |
|
| Post-Processing Color grading, motion blur, final presentation stuff. | ||
| Anti-Aliasing | ||
| FXAA | Number of passes of FXAA to apply after temporal anti-aliasing. |
|
| Skip All Anti-Aliasing | Just for demonstrative purposes! Disables all anti-aliasing/temporal reconstruction! |
|
| Pixel Look | Controls the fine-scale look of the final image. Sharp: If you prefer a sharper image. Filmic: Adds additional filtering to provide a softer, more film-like look. |
|
| AA Style | Stable: AA more generously prefers blending history for a more stable image. Responsive: AA tries to more quickly refresh the image when changes happen. |
|
| Tonemapping Curve | Controls the intensity of highlights. Lower values give a more filmic look, higher values give a more vibrant/natural look. Default: 5.5 |
|
| Tonemap Operator | Each tonemap operator defines a different way to present the raw internal HDR color information to a color range that fits nicely with the limited range of monitors/displays. Each operator gives a different feel to the overall final image. |
|
| Motion Blur | Motion blur. Makes motion look blurry. |
|
| Motion Blur HQ | Higher quality motion blur at a small performance cost |
|
| Motion Blur Intensity | The intensity of motion blur. Higher values will cause more blurring with motion. |
|
| Exposure | Controls overall brightness/exposure of the image. Higher values give a brighter image. Default: 1.0 |
|
| Gamma | Gamma adjust. Lower values make shadows darker. Higher values make shadows brighter. Default: 1.0 |
|
| Saturation | Saturation adjust. Higher values give a more colorful image. Default: 1.0 |
|
| Black Depth | Adjusts intensity of blacks/low light in the image. Higher values will push darker light into blackness. 0 disables the effect. |
|
| WHITE_CLIP | Clips bright colors to white |
|
| Bloom Strength | Amount of bloom to apply to the image. |
|
| Post Sharpening | The amount of sharpening to apply to the image before final presentation. |
|
| Utility Gameplay utility stuff. | ||
| Visualize Dangerous Light Level | When enabled, areas with a block light level of 7 or below (where mobs could spawn) are highlighted in red. Useful for determining the safety of an area in survival gameplay. Doesn't consider sky light level. |

Resource packs with custom block models will probably cause lighting glitches!
PTGI Known Issues
- Particles aren’t rendered properly yet.
- Block texture alpha is not considered in diffuse GI tracing, so doors and trapdoors currently don’t let any light through their windows.
- Being underwater in ravines/caves shows light leaking and “glowing” water fog. This is unavoidable currently.
- “Disco Floor” flickering artifact is mostly seen in reflections (the new Secondary GI Samples option can help with this).
- Secondary GI bounces (2nd bounce and onward) can take a while to adapt to lighting changes.
- Issues with the rendering of semi-transparent/translucent materials.
- Lighting breaks often when using resource packs with custom models; a solution is being investigated!

🔄 Update Logs
SEUS PTGI HRR 3
- Atmosphere, cloud, and outdoor lighting improvements: white balance adjustment to make the sky bluer and sunlight less dingy, decreased cloud coverage directly overhead and increased coverage in the distance near the horizon, balanced cloud and sky colors so that ambient shadows aren’t pale and washed out anymore when Clouds in GI is enabled.
- All blocks in 1.18.1 function properly, including new light sources: candles, glow lichen, and glow berries.
- Candle lighting is based on the colors in the candle texture itself and how many candles are in a block.
- Sea pickles and end rods now emit light.
- GI denoising filter improvements.
- Reworked default tone mapping for an emphasis on a bright, vibrant look.
- Increased GI voxel data area size, allowing greater view distance for ray tracing effects.
- Increased default diffuse and reflection ray lengths to accommodate 1.18’s larger caves and world structures.
- Improved “HRR” tech: fixed blurring when quickly moving the view, improved stability and responsiveness, improved “Filmic” pixel look setting.
- Entities now have proper motion vectors and don’t look awful under motion, and contribute properly to motion blur!
- Default water fog density is now 0, avoiding glowing water issues. You can turn it back on if you miss it!
- Smoother bloom.
- Fixed bug seen in the shading of blocks inside smooth reflections.
- General cleanup for shader options.
- Changed default torchlight color temperature.
- Added new option: Lighting > Candlelight Color Temp.
- Added new option: Lighting > Light Leak Fix. This replaces the old light leak fix options previously found in Raytracing settings. This has been reworked/improved to not be based on where the player is, so moving in and out of caves no longer awkwardly enables/disables light leaking.
- Reworked Utility > Visualize Dangerous Light Level option. Considers that mobs now require light level 0 to spawn and doesn’t look blinding and horrible anymore.
- Added new option: Surface > Texture LOD Bias. Higher values increase detail in textures but can lead to instability, ghosting, and reduced performance. Lower values improve image stability and performance but can lead to lower-resolution textures at a distance and grazing angles.
- Added new option: Surface > Anisotropic LOD Bias. Enabled by default. When enabled, it preserves details on surfaces at higher grazing angles. Similar tradeoffs as Texture LOD Bias.
- Added new option: Surface > Wet Caves Effect. Disabled by default. An experimental effect that attempts to make surfaces inside caves damp/wet.
- Added Raytracing > GI Responsiveness option. High responsiveness allows lighting to respond to changes more rapidly but can cause instability and decreased detail. Low responsiveness allows more samples to accumulate over time and offers increased detail and stability but causes laggy lighting.
- Fixed crazy bloom when in lava.
- Fixed caustic bugs.
- Added short raytraced contact shadows.
- Fixed certain flowing lava shapes not being voxelized or contributing to lighting.
- New physically-inspired low-light vision effect which now applies on top of the entire image instead of fakely on certain light types and improves the look of night scenes.
- Moonlight overhaul: the moon phase now properly affects nighttime lighting, being fairly bright during the full moon and very dark during new moon.
- Moon and moonlight color tweak.
- Starlight contribution to GI at night, providing some visibility even when the sky is very dark at night when the moon is at its darkest phase.
- Increased max ray distance for Atmospheric Godrays.
- Improved energy conservation in reflection filter. Rougher surfaces now show more subtle reflections more visibly.

Comments (159)
If I use this shader, I would definitely remove the Minecraft vanilla clouds. Because If I let the Minecraft vanilla clouds to combine with this shader pack, it will make the shader more uglier, but it’s still better than not using shader and using bad shader.
Why does the shader creator allow Minecraft vanilla cloud to join with the shader? He didn’t even know that allowing Minecraft vanilla clouds into the shader pack would make it uglier? Anyways, Sonic Ether, I hope you remove Minecraft vanilla cloud out of your shader pack so it will more beautiful with realistic 2D cloud like small fully beach waves, water and rain reflections, good graphics, good sun and moon with star and more…
I rate this shader as a ultra good shader as with good features but please, remove Minecraft vanilla clouds out of this shader pack. Remove the vanilla cloud out of the shader would make it better very, very, very much than letting vanilla cloud sit there
That’s mean only the features from SEUS v10.1 Ultra were introduced into this shader without Minecraft vanilla clouds
Why do I tell you to not allow the Minecraft vanilla clouds into this shader pack? It’s because I cannot find a way to remove vanilla cloud and that making your shader become bad but still better. Thank you for reading this
I guess people will say: “While using SEUS shader you can just disable Minecraft vanilla clouds by going to: Esc -> Options -> Video Settings -> Details -> Cloud: On -> Off”, right? I don’t know if the “Clouds” option evenin the “Details” setting but I just gonna say the chances is “50%” cuz I don’t know. But, please, Sonic Ether, please not to allow the Minecraft vanilla clouds into your shader, okay? Please?
I’m having the same issue the vanilla clouds are black.
This a 1.12.x minecraft shaders ?
What?
What other content mods is this compatible with? Is it compatible with Thaumcraft?
This is amazing, thanks for making minecraft look great, anyone know if this will work with the water shader mod?
There is a Problem Using Windows 10.. a Glitch..
what a problem?
Not happy with how netherrack looks orange, magma becomes a bright orange, and lava is like a blinding, golden fire, no matter what texture pack I use, or with no texture pack. There is also a general haziness to everything, like moving through a thin fog on a spring morning, only it’s everywhere. Sort of like very early ENBSeries on Skyrim before it actually worked correctly.
I can’t download it.. I am using Internet Download Manager but it can’t works well.. Any solution? I really want to download it..
Please please please, can you make the guide on installation more straight forward, I am hoping between about 5 pages as I progress through all these unnecessary hyperlinks , I’ve spent over an hour now trying to get the right versions and all the bits just to do this, it either won’t start the game or the game won’t apply the mod.
I follow the first set of instructions on this page (1) and click the GLSL Shaders Mod that it says I need it takes me to another page (2) I also download the shaders pack on page (1) and place it in shaderpacks folder
on page (2) the first thing it tells me is I need to get the installer which ever that is, I’d rather not install forge and it gives two options forge and non forge, it also mentions something about needing asm 5.2 for 1.12 I’m running 1.12 so I click on it and it takes me to another page (3) I download an install it
Still wondering what the actual installer is as to what was first said in the instructions of page (2) I scroll down to the download list on page (2) for Minecraft 1.12.2 / 1.12.1 seeing as I’m running that version I think great I’ll download that one I click on it It takes me to another page (4)
I get to page (4) in the tips it says that I do not require forge but then in the instructions it says the first thing it tells me is I need to download forge? even though previously it said there was two options and I didn’t have to, I think what ever no biggy I’ll download forge so I click the link it takes me to another page (5)
on Page (5) I download the 1.12 version of forge this time I don’t get taken to another page with the download link. I install forge
I go back to page (4) and logically proceed with the next set of instructions I scroll down and it lists the optifine mod file as 1.11.2 I think great this is supposed to be for 1.12 as initially listed. I download the OptiFine_1.11.2_HD_U_B8.jar and put it in my mods folder. incidentally the link for the download takes me to another page.
After trying to follow all these instructions precisely and carefully avoiding all the shitty malware that is packaged with this
I have asm 5.2 something installed – without the malware I might add (maybe that’s why its not working)
I have Forge 1.12 installed
I have SEUS-v11.0.zip in my shaders folder
I have OptiFine_1.11.2_HD_U_B8.jar in my mods folder
I go back through all the instructions just to make sure I have it all right.
I launch the game under forge in the launcher it crashes, I think oh well with all these 1.11 supposed 1.12 variants maybe I have to run forge with 1.11 so I try all those 1.11.1 and 2 and so on
I try this and that, it either crashes or the game loads up fine as is with no mods/options. I try downloading just the 1.11 versions of the other things as well still nothing
I actually took the time to write all this hoping I’d come across some mistake I’d made but I didn’t
I like to think I’m not a noob. I’ve found that 95% of the mc mod guides are like this but I nearly always manage to get it to work in the end this time is not the case
Please please please, can you make the guide on installation more straight forward, I am hoping between about 5 pages as I progress through all these unnecessary hyperlinks , I’ve spent over an hour now trying to get the right versions and all the bits just to do this, it either won’t start the game or the game won’t apply the mod.
I follow the first set of instructions on this page (1) and click the GLSL Shaders Mod that it says I need it takes me to another page (2) I also download the shaders pack on page (1) and place it in shaderpacks folder
on page (2) the first thing it tells me is I need to get the installer which ever that is, I’d rather not install forge and it gives two options forge and non forge, it also mentions something about needing asm 5.2 for 1.12 I’m running 1.12 so I click on it and it takes me to another page (3) I download an install it
Still wondering what the actual installer is as to what was first said in the instructions of page (2) I scroll down to the download list on page (2) for Minecraft 1.12.2 / 1.12.1 seeing as I’m running that version I think great I’ll download that one I click on it It takes me to another page (4)
I get to page (4) in the tips it says that I do not require forge but then in the instructions it says the first thing it tells me is I need to download forge? even though previously it said there was two options and I didn’t have to, I think what ever no biggy I’ll download forge so I click the link it takes me to another page (5)
on Page (5) I download the 1.12 version of forge this time I don’t get taken to another page with the download link. I install forge
I go back to page (4) and logically proceed with the next set of instructions I scroll down and it lists the optifine mod file as 1.11.2 I think great this is supposed to be for 1.12 as initially listed. I download the OptiFine_1.11.2_HD_U_B8.jar and put it in my mods folder. incidentally the link for the download takes me to another page.

You should use 1.12.2, download the Forge, after installing Optifine, and last install SEUS shaders in “.minecraft/shaderpacks”.
