Intro

This topic is extremely advanced. Minecraft resource packs allow you to customize the default shaders using the GLSL language. Shaders are purely client-side, and do not have straightforward ways to communicate with the server or any other outside means. This is why many projects employ creative solutions to tell the shaders what to do.

• Example of shader communication

First two resources are the main shader reference resources. Please read the resources below and join the Minecraft Commands discord server for help.
