Get impressive graphics for your low-end and high-end devices with Wisdom Shaders! See the world of Minecraft in a more realistic yet vibrant light! Experiment with the filter options and have fun making beautiful videos and playthroughs. Created by username Bobcao3, the pack aims to provide beautiful graphics while maintaining the highest performance possible. The creator of the pack optimized the Shader to run on integrated Intel Graphics cards and made it compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux.

What the Wisdom Shaders Pack is About

Bobcao3โ€™s Wisdom Shader Pack features stunning graphics that stimulate slightly faded-out realistic lighting and effects, making your Minecraft look like it came out from a movie. Despite the high-end graphics, the creator did not sacrifice the performance. Users can freely tone down or up the setting as they prefer.

Quality PBR Shading

The pack uses PBR (Physics-based rendering) for water, metal, glass, and other shiny objects to simulate real-life light reflection and refraction. It also automatically converts specular packs to PBR packs, so everything looks nice and even.

Super Optimized

The creator of the pack did not compromise between performance and graphics and instead created a very optimized pack for low-end and high-end devices. This makes the pack scale well with Intel HD Graphics and supports high-end Nvidia and AMD cards.

After Effect Options

The Wisdom Shaders also has a selection of After Effects Filters like a Black & White filter, Modern Light Tone, Noise and Grain Filter, Prime Rendering Filter, 8-Bit Filter, and so much more. This makes the pack very customizable. You can also experiment with the packโ€™s exposure adjustment option for video recording and taking beautiful screenshots.

Advanced Shader Effects

On top of all of its features are the series of advanced Shader effects added to the pack, including volumetric lighting, atmospheric scattering fog, realistic natural boom, emissive mapping support, and more.

Should You Use It?

The default setting of the Wisdom Shader is set on a High profile and is very heavy on the system. However, it does boast one of the nicest graphics and visuals, making it on par with the most popular Shader packs like the SUES. You will definitely enjoy this pack if you have a high-end PC or laptop. If you have a unit with low or medium specs. Then you might want to tone down the visuals to make the game playable.

Hey Gouys, i did ( i think ) everything correctly, but the Shader Butten wont show up, Forge, Optifine, is installed, but when i go into the settings, the Shader settings button isnt showing up heres a screen shot http://prntscr.com/i2gfij

also does this look correct for the RSS packs? http://prntscr.com/i2gfqi other than that, how does a shader pack that works for 1.12.2 offer support for one of these RSS’s? there both Old from the link he has.

please help, and thanks!

By the looks of it, you dont have optifine correctly installed. Get Java from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk10-downloads-4416644.html
Install it, and use it to open the optifine, it should help you from there and you should have optifine (it will make an account for optifine) Open MC and go to the settings, options, and video settings. There you will find the resource folder, and you can copy Wisdom Shaders into it. I hope this all made sense!

i think you installed optifine in forge that’s fine but maybe the version of optifine that you used wasn’t compatible with forge you can always check out the change log to see if any version compatible with forge

hey S.C i will help you :D
first download optifine ,double click it and install it ,
put your shader pack on shaderpack folder in your minecraft directory
launch minecraft on optifine profile ,go to settings and enable your shader pack

How do I download this properly? I put it into the resource packs folder but then when I launch minecraft it doesn’t appear in the options>resource packs section HELP

You go into the Minecraft Folder,Put the Shader from Downloads into SHADER PACKS and when its in shaderpacks you can open it ingame in “GraphicSettings” but only if you got OPTIFINE.

Hey, the way you add a shader pack is
click the folder icon on your task bar, click where it says “this pc” or whatever at the top long bar, click it and type in %appdata% this should bring you to another folder which has .minecraft, open that folder, you should have a folder in there called “shaderpacks” no “” if you dont just create a folder called “sharepacks” no caps and without quotations, once you have that drop your .zip shader packs into there and launch up minecraft use the shaders mod or optifine :) enjoy!

This is a shaders mods, you put it into the shaderpacks folder (If it’s not there then make one), and use optifine to use it (options>video settings>shaders).

you need to put it in the shader packs folder, install optifine and install it into the shaders folder, then it will work but make sure your pc can handle the shaders :)

you dont put it in resources if you have optifine installed there will be a shader pack folder in your minecraft folder you just put the whole zip in the folder
