Builder’s Quality of Life Shaders Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – Enhance Visuals with Minimal Impact on Performance

Builder’s Quality of Life Shaders (QoL) is a minimalist shader pack designed for Minecraft players who want a cleaner, more polished visual experience without sacrificing performance. Unlike heavy shader packs, this one avoids flashy effects like volumetric lighting, bloom, or shadows.

Instead, it focuses on subtle enhancements that seamlessly blend with the vanilla style—perfect for builders who want their world to look better while keeping high framerates. The shader is optimized for speed, making it ideal for low- to mid-range PCs or large-scale building projects where smooth performance is key.

Simple, clean, and efficient – Builder’s QoL Shaders is all about making Minecraft look better without going over the top.
