Frequently asked

How do I install BDS - Better Default Shaders?

You need a shader loader first: Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine. Put the downloaded file in your shaderpacks folder and select it in the video settings shader screen. The shader loader, not the pack, decides which Minecraft versions work.

Where do I download BDS - Better Default Shaders safely?

Start with the author's page on CurseForge, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. When available, recorded download links go to the source for that release; verify the publisher, filename and any available checksum before running it.

Which Minecraft versions does BDS - Better Default Shaders work on?

The author has not declared a supported version in the metadata we sync, so there is nothing here we can state as fact. Check the project's own page before installing it, and treat an old shader pack with no declared version as untested on modern Minecraft.

Details from CurseForge, where the author last updated it on 20 Mar 2025. We do not host files or republish descriptions. Available download links point to the author’s own release.
