Shaderite

The library handles the work of binding shader uniforms, including setting specific values from data, so a mod can drive a visual effect without writing that plumbing itself. It also includes support for class loader post processing shaders, which lets a mod apply screen-level effects built from its own shader programs.

Shaderite is a dependency for other mods rather than a feature players use directly. One catalog mod, Ultra Secret Settings, requires it. It is client required with an optional server side, so players need the library installed while a server can run without it. Shaderite is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.

Files exist for Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1, with version 1.1 for 1.21 as the latest NeoForge file, published on 2026-03-02. Newer NeoForge builds are reported as unstable, with most features failing there, including post processing shaders. A port to other loaders is planned because similar libraries already exist for them, and a stable release is expected before a port is attempted.
