a thing to find shader packs that are usable in this client

[ancient breach]

I want a way to find shader packs that I can be able to use in this client easier because I could find only one shader pack that I'm able to use in this client but the only problem with the shader pack that I found that I'm able to use in this client is that it makes my game really laggy and I want a website for finding shader packs that work with this client and if possible will not lag someone's game really bad and I want the website to be able to be accessed in game and in the launcher

most popular shaders from modrinth or curseforge should work

the only shader pack that I found that I can use is (super duper vanilla) truly

[feral gull]

what version are u using and are you using iris or optifine?

newer versions (1.21.5+) have some major issues with shader performance with most of the popular shaders, for example, with complementary I used to get 220 fps average in 1.21.4, then after 1.21.5 I average 60 fps

might that be why?

[feral gull]

1.21.5+ has worse performance than 1.21.4 (on macOS its around 50% of the fps in 1.21.4 for example)

[cloud kestrel]

yeah, but I was pointing out that it's 3.7+- times slower with shaders (for most people that do have issues). with super duper vanilla I get 260 on 1.21.4 and 200 on 1.21.5, not nearly as big of a difference with complementary. I understand 1.21.5 has worse performance, and I have experienced this myself, but big shaders get hit harder than normal vanilla percentage wise.
