What Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders?
Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders is a mod that adds a great deal of depth to Minecraft by implementing 3D lighting and visuals. While the world will remain blocky as always.
Light will curve around corners, objects will cast more realistic shadows and water effects will be greatly improved with this mod, even without using any resource packs to upgrade the look of Minecraft. Like other shader mods, this one can be very demanding on a player’s graphics card, making it unviable when using older computers, or even newer computers without a solid amount of graphics processing power.
For the players who have enough power to use it, Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders mod is something they’ll never want to uninstall once it has been implemented. Unlike resource packs that are essentially a matter of taste and aesthetics.
shader mods like this one offer direct upgrades to the graphics in Minecraft, so many players have nothing bad to say about them at all. It will also be necessary to download and install the GLSL shaders mod so Minecraft will allow custom shaders to be used in the first place.
The Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders (also known as SEUS), is one of the first shaders mod for Minecraft. It adds lots of graphic features/improvements to Minecraft, including but not limited to shadows, water reflection, lens flare, motion blur, improved fog, realistic shaders, glossy blocks, bump mapping and lots of other graphic enhancements.
Overall it gives Minecraft a much more cinematic or “epic” feel and look. It is almost mandatory if you are trying to make beautiful Minecraft videos.
Please note that this mod/shaders requires GLSL Shaders Mod to work.Shaders greatly enhance the graphic look of Minecraft, this means however, that it will take a lot og GPU power when you use it.
It is not recommended to use shaders with a graphic card below the NVIDIA 8800GT GPU. I have a pretty fair PC (Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680, 16 GB DDR RAM), and my FPS are smooth varying between 30-60.The author of this mod and these shaders recommend the Chroma Hills Resource Pack to get the most out of the shaders, as it is very compatible with the SEUS Mod.
