Unlike many lightweight shaderpacks, Chocapic13’s Shaders 1.18.2 tries to maintain a decent quality level even at the lowest possible preset. The high-end presets are able to run at around 80-100 fps, and over 120 on a simple scene on a mid-range GPU like the RX 570 or the GTX 1060 while offering high-quality visuals.
Chocapic13’s Shaders is the baseline for many other shader packs out there. It is highly popular among shader pack developers because it is easy to work with, and many of the simplest things have already been taken care of, which leaves those developers time to work on the large changes and modifications they want to make.
