CuteLite-Shader

⚡ CuteLite Shader — "If Minecraft runs, CuteLite runs!" ⚡

I made this shader on an i5 4th Gen with NO graphics card, for people who play like me. This project breaks the traditional barriers of Minecraft shading by proving that you don’t need an expensive dedicated graphics card to enjoy a beautiful, atmosphere-driven world.

Fine-tuned to deliver stable 60 to 100+ FPS on laptops, school computers, and older desktop PCs.

🔥 FEATURES & DOCUMENTATION

• ❌ True Zero-GPU Architecture: Engineered specifically for systems without a dedicated graphics card. It squeezes maximum efficiency out of integrated chips (Intel HD, AMD Radeon Vega, Intel Iris Xe).
• ☀️ Volumetric Lighting (God Rays): Gorgeous, dynamic sunbeams piercing through the trees during sunrises and sunsets with near-zero performance cost.
• 🌊 Custom Vanilla+ Water: Beautiful turquoise/marine water tone with customized transparency, avoiding high-cost calculations that cause frame drops.
• 🌿 Wavy Foliage & Plants: Subtle waving animations for leaves and grass to make the world feel alive.
• 🌙 Dark Subterranean Caves: Modifies light mapping inside caves to create deeper, more realistic shadows, making torches essential for survival.
• 🎨 Vivid Color Grading: Built-in color correction that enhances contrast and color vibrancy entirely through fast code, avoiding memory drain.

⚙️ MAXIMUM FPS SETUP

For the ultimate buttery-smooth gameplay, configure your video settings as follows:

• Mod Pipeline (Highly Recommended): Fabric + Sodium + Iris Shaders.
• Render Distance: Set between 6 to 8 chunks.
• V-Sync: Turn off external vertical sync in-game.
