About the project
Open-source shader pack for Minecraft Java that renders natively in Metal on Apple Silicon Macs, adding shadows, volumetric clouds, god rays, reflective water, and HDR without going through OpenGL.
Useful for
- Enable HDR and reflective water on an M-series Mac to improve Minecraft visuals
- Compare FPS across performance, balanced, quality, and ultra presets via the F3 overlay
- Tune 120 shader settings live from the pause-menu Shaders page

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 00:29–11:13: 77 → 78 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 78 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
