Shader Commands

by Heptasent

Shader Commands lets players switch Oculus shader packs through typed commands, without opening the Video Settings screen.

ForgeClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.18.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds a lightweight command interface for changing Oculus shader packs during play. Players can switch packs, and modpack and datapack creators can set shaders to change automatically for specific scenes. Only the client needs it, and it requires Oculus to run. Files target Forge for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, with 1.1.0 for 1.19.2 as the latest build.

Key features

  1. Command-based shader switching

    Shader packs are changed by command, so no menu has to be opened during a session.

  2. Tab completion and per-player settings

    Commands offer tab completion, and saved Oculus settings are kept for each player in multiplayer.

  3. Efficient shader reloading

    Reloads run on the client thread and skip redundant reloads when the active shader does not change.

Questions

Does Shader Commands need Oculus?

Yes. Oculus is a required dependency, and the mod is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge, so Oculus must be installed next to it.

Does the server need Shader Commands?

Multiplayer behavior is described in the author notes, but the environment is client-side only, so the server does not need the mod to run.

What the author says

Will be ported to Fabric in the coming days, feel free to request Fabric/Forge versions you want this on in the comments. Shader Commands adds a lightweight command interface for switching Oculus shader packs without opening Video Settings.
