How to install MakeUp Ultra Fast Shaders for Minecraft 1.19 update

Minecraft has become an incredibly popular game, and its blocky and pixelated worlds and textures have become iconic. As a result, games that use similar looks are often called Minecraft ripoffs. However, for the dozens of hours that players often put into a single world, the pixelated look of the game can get quite old, and that’s where shaders come in.

Shaders are mods that completely overhaul how the game renders lighting, water, and much more. The MakeUp Ultra Fast Shader is one of the shaders that make the game look much better.

Install Forge or Fabric

Players will first need to decide if they want to download and install Forge and Optifine or Fabric and Iris. Forge and Fabric are two different foundational bases for mods, including the mods that make the changes that shaders make possible in the first place.
