ShadersMod

ShadersMod was a mod created and developed by Karyonix that added shaders to Minecraft. This mod used code from GLSL Shaders Mod. The last released version was Version 2.7.0 for Minecraft: Java Edtion 1.12 and then ShadersMod was discontinued. However, shaders for newer versions can be still accessed, but only through OptiFine.

History
daxnitro created the original GLSL Shaders mod which create a possibility for better-looking Minecraft. However, from September to October 2012, daxnitro did not update his mod for new Minecraft version 1.3.2-1.4.2. The last version was 2.1.6 for Minecraft 1.3.1. Many users requested an update for the new Minecraft version. daxnitro said in his post that he allow modification and distribution of his mod.

Because this situation happened, Karyonix started updating new versions of the mod. Mod code was created on the foundation of id_miner's modified code. The first versions were titled GLSL Shaders mod for Minecraft 1.4.2 modified by karyonix v4. After versions for requested 1.3.3 and 1.4.2 were released, he released the next two versions for 1.4.5, but on different versions format (now by v1.x). From the next release (for 1.4.5-1.4.6), the mod was renamed to simply ShaderMod. The last released 1.x version was ShadersMod 1.46. 80% of all versions under 2.x version format required Forge or FML and some were even not compatible with OptiFine. The last incompatible version with OptiFine was 2.2.2, where it wasn't compatible with Optifine's anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing features. In 1.8.8 - 1.8.9 OptiFine, ShadersMod were included, marking these two versions as the most-used versions now.

The last version, that was made on this Mod was V2.7.1, but the last released was V.2.7.0 (for Minecraft 1.12). All ShaderPacks versions released after 1.12 are from OptiFine and this mod is still in code, but with bug fixes only.
