Chocapic Shaders is a mod that dramatically improves the graphics of Minecraft. As its name suggests, its main function is to add dynamic shadows (shaders in English), a pleasing effect of wind on the leaves, real sunshine and a better water modeled before. Shaders have several different versions, all more or less resource intensive.
Features:
Parallax Occlusion Mapping (add relief to blocks + reflections)
Bumpmap (less performance expensive method to add relief + reflections)
Classic (no relief and standard graphic amelioration)
Drag and drop into your minecraft.jar the files for your minecraft version
Drag and drop the content of the “tp” folder into your favorite texturepack and turn custom colors on optifine settings
You are now able to use one of the “original” presets : go into the “shader” folder then into the “original” folder and choose a performance preset. Open the folder corresponding to the performance preset you choose, open this “shaders” folder and drag and drop all the .fsh and .vsh files into your minecraft.jar/shaders.
To change shaders simply replace the content of the shaders folder for another shader preset.
Optifine Settings :
Mipmap level : 3 or max,except if you are using parralax occlusion set it to 1 or 2
Rain : fast (fancy is too slow and don’t add something really noticeable)
Fog : off
Custom colors : on
Chunk update : multi-core
Advanced opengl : off (better on for parralax occlusion and 1.4.6/1.4.7)
Lazy chunk update : off

Cloud height : what you want (disable clouds shadow in shaders button options with 1.4.6/1.4.7)/ at least 60 (for 1.4.5)

And enable fxaa for nvidia or mlaa for amd into your control panel for antialiasing!
Nvidia Users : disable threaded optimisation into the nvidia control panel
There are very few mods that stand out from the other, however even the mods that do can be topped by even more extraordinary ones. Very few mods will continually be loathed forever by the entire user/player community of minecraft, and when this happens; the mod itself will continue to grow player, and feature wise. The GLSL Shaders mod for Minecraft it not only possibly one of the most unique, and extraordinary mods of all time; but it is also perhaps a very long awaited, fully developed, and well created mod in which implements spectacular shading and environmental animations to your game of Minecraft. The mod itself, developed by a very unique creator; has been developed to implement an original and beautiful looking shader into the game. The shader itself introduces a different type of lighting the game, initially enhancing the default brightness, before darkening the Shadows to create a wonderful effect.
The GLSL shaders mod is very GPU intensive, and requires a very decent computer to run it well. It is advised that the user be smart when choosing to install, and use this mod. A large amount of FPS (Frame-Rate per second) will be used in the entire process of using the mod. Thankfully, the developer of the mod has released different versions, some with different FPS usage. Even so, the mod will still undoubtedly cause a large amount of lag, this will become a large problem for those of whom do not have a computer in which can run such a mod. If you are unsure of your FPS with or without the mod installed, simply log into your world in Minecraft, and press the F3 button on your keyboard. This will bring up a screen, covered with details and lines of different information The FPS counter is located on the top left of this screen layout, easily labelled and easy to understand. To close this layout, simply press the F3 button once more.
