The Shader Craze

In October 2021 the screenshots channel filled with ray tracing, resource-pack stacks and FPS comparisons.

Event ASMP S1 17 Oct 2021 – 25 Oct 2021

In mid-October 2021 shaders took over the screenshots channel. kira tried RTX on Bedrock, then SEUS PTGI, declaring that “rt shaders are sick”. 1 abi went further, stacking seven ray-tracing and resource packs together until his game crashed. 2

Suresh, prop, nYx and Kart compared BSL, Complementary and Sildur’s shaders and the frame rates they got. Prop’s PC could barely run shaders at all, and he said only kira’s house convinced him a screenshot was Minecraft. Kart proposed a new name for the channel: “Shaders flex screenshots”. 3
