Just Add Shaders Modpack (1.15.2) – Lightweight Visual Upgrade for Minecraft

If you love vanilla Minecraft but wish it looked a little more modern, Just Add Shaders is the perfect middle ground. Built for Minecraft 1.15.2, this lightweight modpack is crafted for players who want enhanced visuals without gameplay changes or heavy mod clutter.

Whether you’re taking cinematic screenshots or just want your world to glow under the sunrise, this pack gives you the tools to bring Minecraft to life—without sacrificing performance.

🎨 A Vanilla-Friendly Visual Boost

Just Add Shaders doesn’t alter the core mechanics of Minecraft. There are:

• ❌ No new blocks
• ❌ No complex tech trees
• ❌ No custom mobs

Instead, it adds only what’s needed to support shader functionality, giving you full freedom to choose your favorite shader pack (SEUS, BSL, Complementary, etc.) while keeping the base game intact.

🧩 Features & Benefits

• Preconfigured Shader Support
  All necessary backend mods (like OptiFine or Sodium + Iris, depending on the profile) are already installed and optimized.
• Minimal Mod List
  Designed to be as lightweight as possible. No bloat, no extra menus—just clean performance and visual flexibility.
• Customizable Settings
  Built-in configuration options let you adjust performance vs. quality, ideal for mid-range or even low-end systems with the right tweaks.
• Perfect for Screenshots and Builders
  Add shaders, load your favorite world, and instantly enjoy soft lighting, dynamic shadows, waving grass, and reflective water.

💻 Who Should Use This Pack?

• Players who want to beautify Minecraft without changing how it plays
• Content creators needing a lightweight setup for cinematic footage
• Builders and explorers who value atmosphere and lighting
• Laptop or mid-tier PC users who need a shader-ready pack that won’t lag

🧪 Suggested Shader Packs
