Frequently asked
Does Vanilla Shader work on Minecraft 26.2-snapshot-3?
Yes. 26.2-snapshot-3 is the newest Minecraft version Vanilla Shader declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.
Which Minecraft versions does Vanilla Shader support?
Everything the author has declared, from 1.19 up to 26.2-snapshot-3. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.
Do I need to install Vanilla Shader on the client or the server?
The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.
What licence is Vanilla Shader under?
LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.
How do I install Vanilla Shader?
Download the file from the author's own release, put it in your resourcepacks folder, and enable it in Options, then Resource Packs. No loader is involved; check the pack targets your Minecraft version so textures do not fall back to defaults.
Where do I download Vanilla Shader safely?
Start with the author's page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. The download link goes to the source recorded for that release; verify the publisher, filename and checksum before running it.
Works on the same versions
Ordered by how much of the recent Minecraft version coverage overlaps, not by popularity.
