Minecraft texture pack Solas is a high-quality expressive fantasy-style texture pack made by the author "Septonious". It is suitable for related versions of Minecraft Java Edition (1.19-1.20.4) and aims to provide stunning features with relatively low performance loss. visual effects.

About Solas

About the SolasShaders texture pack. It was originally designed as a successor to PrismarineShader. Solas is perhaps the first shader package to successfully implement ultra-fast and framerate-friendly colored lighting and global illumination in Minecraft. Both are achieved through the bloom effect, which consumes almost no performance while maintaining good visual performance. A problem with many shader packages with 3D volumetric clouds is that they leak into enclosed spaces such as caves or mountains. Solas solves this problem by switching cloud shadow checking when an enclosed space is detected, thus converting volumetric clouds into volumetric light. Additionally, many shader packages had shadow light leakage and peter translation issues, but these have been resolved in Solas.

unique technology

Solas is one of the first shader packs to enable ultra-fast per-block color lighting targets in Minecraft. This is achieved by blurring block textures, which consumes almost no performance while maintaining good visual effects.

Many other shader packages with 3D volumetric clouds have an issue where they leak into enclosed spaces such as caves or mountains. Solas solves this problem by switching cloud shadow checking when an enclosed space is detected, thus converting volumetric clouds into volumetric light. Another problem that many shader packages have is shadow light leakage and peter translation, which is minimized in Solas.
