Selecting the Shader Pack
To turn on Mini Plus Shaders inside a world, make sure you are launching Minecraft with a compatible shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine, and that the pack is inside your shaderpacks folder.
1. Load into any singleplayer world or multiplayer server and press Escape to open the pause menu.
2. Click Options, then open Video Settings.
3. Open the Shaders or Shader Packs menu.
4. Click Mini Plus Shaders from the list of available packs.
5.
Confirming Visual Changes
Once the screen finishes reloading, return to your game to verify the pack is active. Because Mini Plus Shaders preserves the original vanilla look, block textures will still appear familiar rather than heavily altered. Check nearby lakes, rivers, or ocean blocks to spot the upgraded water effects and shiny surface reflections. Look across your current biome to see the soft fantasy color palette blending with classic vanilla blocks, along with noticeably brighter shadows beneath trees and overhangs.
