Some guys found a way to get shadows without path tracing using the core shaders system. Since you can't render the world a second time for the shadow map it just renders the shadow map every second frame and then projects the shadows on the first frame, which basically halves your framerate.

Not only did they add vanilla shaders, they actually completely rewrote the rendering engine to update from OpenGL 2.1 to OpenGL 3.3, updated to Java 16 (they had been using the outdated 1.8 for years), and they also made it to where the world height limit can be changed using a datapack. 1.17 is a very under-the-hood heavy update, to say the least.
No reason why they couldn't go with a newer OpenGL like 4.0+, but the only major addition is tesselation support, and in a voxel engine there isn't a lot of use for that.
The block bugs in the pathtracing resource pack remind me of how a rendering technique called raymarching can seem to change the actual geometry of models. Really cool, actually!
It is definitely a difficult thing to explain at a stage like this and I wouldn't have been able to explain it properly if I was given the same resources. Man's got not only programming knowledge, but can teach well enough too
A CPU gets its speed through instruction level parallelism. Since that parallelism isn't explicit, a TON of hardware is dedicated to tracking and executing instructions to run in parallel and out of order and then putting them back into order again. The result is one or two threads (per core) that run pretty fast. On the other hand, a GPU gets its speed from massive thread-level parallelism. Instead of a few massive beefy CPU cores, there are *thousands* of really simple ones. One pixel isn't computed super fast, but the GPU can compute thousands of pixels in parallel.
During the 1.17 snapshot cycle I really got hyped because og the OpenGL, I thought it was the first step to shaders and new amazing light features to come in vanilla. But I found few resourse pack or people talking about what this can mean for the future.
Mojang should allocate way more resources into customization and modding of the game, especially documentation, and developer tools. It is in my opinion the single thing that keeps the Minecraft community alive all these years later. Honestly, all these useless mobs and blocks they have been adding lately, aren't interesting enough on their own to keep players coming. Amateur modders have put Mojang to shame for years. Even with all the resources Mojang has, modders still make more interesting content, and faster as well. The extension of Y axis was absolutely the main selling point in 1.17. Now that we have to wait, they could make the shaders more accessible, perhaps by actually writing documentation for it... Same goes for datapacks, and commands, which are a topic for themselves. The commands in Minecraft are probably the most chaotic implementation I have seen that wasn't added by a third party developer. Creating official tools, such as skin and resource pack editors, data pack creators, adding back the world customization that they got rid off, would take the game way further than adding a fucking goat. Now I understand all of these things are possible to do, and if someone wants to understand how to do it, they can. However I'm looking at this from a "Company that wants their game to do well" perspective. You always want to have as big of a reach as possible without compromising your products use and value. Making these tools isn't a problem for Mojang at all, they have all the money and tools they need. If people can do it for free because of the passion for the game, Mojang can do it for the long term investment, that will without a doubt yield in years to come. Why they don't is truly fascinating to me.

wow, I never would've thought 1.17 was such a big deal honestly, seeing this though I can't believe how under the radar this was, as a texture pack enthusiast I am honestly in shock
WRONG, They are, you just didn't understand the video. These are shaders. Yes they May not have realistic shadows or rtx-like features, but they are still shaders. You can change the way the game renders and how the lighting works. To simplify it, it is like a low end optifine shader. Edit: found out that there is a rtx-like shader using this option, wich proves my point, these are shaders.
4:55 you got this wrong. Graphics card isn't faster than CPU but quite the opposite. Graphics cards are very slow but can perform millions of operations at a time whereas CPU usually can run a couple of threads at a time however at a very fast speed. I hope I helped resolve the confusion.
I just want to say that I caught the Kirby Air Ride music in the background. Celestial Valley. Fun game with an amazing soundtrack. I haven't played it in ages, and yet I remember the music instantly.
I taught myself GLSL to rewrite a games shaders because it bugged me that they hadnt fixed then yet. It is surprisingly straightforward and easy to learn with help from ChatGPT
people keep trying to come up with super vibrant or realistic shaders but not many actually come up with a shader that makes minecraft look like an entirely new game
This is actually how a lot of fancy effects were done in the earlier days of GPU and shader programming. Pretend you're rendering a 3d scene, but actually the pixels don't represent color but some other kind of data, like a fluid simulation or pieces of a cloth in a cloth simulation. Then, when you go to render the scene for real, you can read information from this texture in the same way you read colors from the pixels of a texture pack. Nowadays the GPU can do away with all this pretense, and run general computations unrelated to rendering, with something called a "compute shader". However, in cases like this where you don't have easy access to compute (Minecraft's version of OpenGL is too old to support them), you can go back to the old -school method! The real definition of a shader (oversimplified) is "a program that runs on the GPU, converting a bunch of input data to a bunch of output data". For example, the corners of every block gets run through a "vertex shader" which converts those corners from their world position into coordinates on your 2d screen. This shader is where you animate or bend the vertices. Next, another shader runs for each visible pixel on each block, converting it into a color. This is where you do effects like lighting, shadows, texture packs, etc. That last really cool texture pack you showed is using a technique called "displacement mapping" or "parallax mapping", which gives flat surfaces a fake sense of depth. Finally, some more shaders are run directly on the screen's pixels to add overlays, antialiasing, chromatic aberration, bloom, and all that fun stuff. This is "post-processing".
I love when people lie Resource packs are mods utilizing the mojang provided modding API Where as "mods" as most people know them utilize the forge or fabric API's respectively so by installing a resource pack that provides shaders, you are indeed installing a mod.
Y'know, for the longest time, I thought shaders WERE resource packs. I saw these realistic resource packs and thought the shader was part of them... didn't know you needed Optifine to install the shaders.
I still remember 10 years ago , edge craft ,literally changed the texture of 15 different blocks for just one but with different degrees of shadow.Nothing revolutionary, but it is interesting how to solve problems with non-commercial solutions.
Some guys found a way to get shadows without path tracing using the core shaders system. Since you can't render the world a second time for the shadow map it just renders the shadow map every second frame and then projects the shadows on the first frame, which basically halves your framerate.

The best part
@@oliverkodys7723 yes
Bro the draw to life music in the background brought back so many memories 😭
1.17 is one of the best update no one understands
2:29 My blender brainrot brain actually just got my body to start dieting uncontrollably like I have permanent muscle damage but it was worth it
yes, with optifine
@@HoradelJuegoV2 I’m just gonna say this Minecraft uses OpenGL and they implemented glsl into resource packs so .vert and .frag is for pixels and .vert is looks
wow, I never would've thought 1.17 was such a big deal honestly, seeing this though I can't believe how under the radar this was, as a texture pack enthusiast I am honestly in shock
Ahem.. Pocket Edition
Bugrock edition you mean? :)
Also they broke shaders and still didn't fix them as I know
0:57 that completely...
It reminds me of him...
Rest in peace Techno
Just so you don't waste your time, to answer the title question. No
This was going to be my last video before going to sleep, thanks dude. I shall sleep now
the answer was yes btw
WRONG, They are, you just didn't understand the video.
These are shaders. Yes they May not have realistic shadows or rtx-like features, but they are still shaders. You can change the way the game renders and how the lighting works.
To simplify it, it is like a low end optifine shader.
Edit: found out that there is a rtx-like shader using this option, wich proves my point, these are shaders.
When I played pocket edition, the only way to get shaders was with resource packs. That was YEARS ago. So this has actually been around for a while.
I must say, I'm very impressed you used Drawn to Life songs for this video, probably the first time I see it on yt
4:55 you got this wrong. Graphics card isn't faster than CPU but quite the opposite. Graphics cards are very slow but can perform millions of operations at a time whereas CPU usually can run a couple of threads at a time however at a very fast speed. I hope I helped resolve the confusion.
I just want to say that I caught the Kirby Air Ride music in the background. Celestial Valley. Fun game with an amazing soundtrack. I haven't played it in ages, and yet I remember the music instantly.
I taught myself GLSL to rewrite a games shaders because it bugged me that they hadnt fixed then yet. It is surprisingly straightforward and easy to learn with help from ChatGPT
people keep trying to come up with super vibrant or realistic shaders but not many actually come up with a shader that makes minecraft look like an entirely new game
This is actually how a lot of fancy effects were done in the earlier days of GPU and shader programming. Pretend you're rendering a 3d scene, but actually the pixels don't represent color but some other kind of data, like a fluid simulation or pieces of a cloth in a cloth simulation. Then, when you go to render the scene for real, you can read information from this texture in the same way you read colors from the pixels of a texture pack.
Nowadays the GPU can do away with all this pretense, and run general computations unrelated to rendering, with something called a "compute shader". However, in cases like this where you don't have easy access to compute (Minecraft's version of OpenGL is too old to support them), you can go back to the old -school method!
The real definition of a shader (oversimplified) is "a program that runs on the GPU, converting a bunch of input data to a bunch of output data". For example, the corners of every block gets run through a "vertex shader" which converts those corners from their world position into coordinates on your 2d screen. This shader is where you animate or bend the vertices. Next, another shader runs for each visible pixel on each block, converting it into a color. This is where you do effects like lighting, shadows, texture packs, etc. That last really cool texture pack you showed is using a technique called "displacement mapping" or "parallax mapping", which gives flat surfaces a fake sense of depth. Finally, some more shaders are run directly on the screen's pixels to add overlays, antialiasing, chromatic aberration, bloom, and all that fun stuff. This is "post-processing".
I love when people lie
Resource packs are mods utilizing the mojang provided modding API
Where as "mods" as most people know them utilize the forge or fabric API's respectively
so by installing a resource pack that provides shaders, you are indeed installing a mod.
The glitches in that one resource pack were like an incredible creepypasta
the drawn to life ost used in this video was so nostalgic
the ending played me like a fiddle
Respect for the drawn to life music in the background
Y'know, for the longest time, I thought shaders WERE resource packs. I saw these realistic resource packs and thought the shader was part of them... didn't know you needed Optifine to install the shaders.
"Split into 2 parts." The wild update is basically caves and cliffs part 3, and yet they still didn't add half the stuff they said.
half is a massive exaggeration
This is the first videos of yours I watched. If your others videos are even a little similar I can easily say I love your content.
Subscribed
Thanks! Definitely more videos in a similar style to come, I'm real proud of this one :D
BÁÁÁÁLIIINT, HUNGARY MENTIONED!!!!!
This is one of the few channels I've subscribed to after watching only one video.
BRO WHATT?!?! How has this not been INSANELY capitalized on!?!? How have I only just now seen this wtf!?!?
IKR?? the community is SLEEPIN on this!
Bálint hmmm what a hungarian hero
Lets go 3 years later but still nice video bro
Hahahaha that ending was really original, got me to subscribe
Absolutely love your style, comedy and tone (:
Love the use of Drawn To Life music
I still remember 10 years ago , edge craft ,literally changed the texture of 15 different blocks for just one but with different degrees of shadow.Nothing revolutionary, but it is interesting how to solve problems with non-commercial solutions.
YEAH I love EdgeCraft, for my "fixing parkour" video I actually ported it to 1.18 so I could have a cool demo map
Woaaahh :o
