ecos shader for Canvas and can-pipe

Lightweight graphics enhancements for your laptop.

Features

See the gallery for some comparisons.

• Shadows (optional, laptop friendliness varies)
• Fog, bloom & tone mapping
• Fancy water, metals & glass
• Optional toon outline & misc effects
• Vanilla-like (for the most part, might change later)
• Anti-aliasing

Planned Features

• Water shading
• Colored lights

Anti-vanilla feature

• Ignore vanilla lightmap (ecos uses its own lighting system)

How to use this?

1. Install a compatible mod such as Canvas (up to 1.20.2) or can-pipe (26.1 and beyond.)

2. Put ecos-vx.x.zip inside your Resource Packs folder and activate it like a regular resource pack.

3. Open Video Settings and configure the pipeline to ecos shaders. If you're on Canvas, you might need to open the Canvas submenu.

Background

Recently I got a laptop, and when I run Lumi Lights on it it started to overheat. So I made this shader as a replacement. It's not the exact same but it got the basic ideas that I wanted from a shader while keeping performance impact at minimum.
