The Short Answer to Shaders
First off, a shader is a graphics pack that changes the lighting and shadows in Minecraft, making the game look more realistic and visually appealing. To download one, you’ll need to start with two things: the game itself and a compatible mod loader like OptiFine or Forge.
After installing OptiFine or Forge, you can then choose a shader pack. There are many available online. Download the shader pack and place it in the ‘shaderpacks’ folder within your Minecraft directory. Easy, right?
