MollyVX Shaders (1.21.7, 1.20.1) – Ultimate Path Tracing & High-End Visuals

MollyVX Shaders is a cutting-edge path tracing shader for Minecraft that introduces stunning lighting and realistic visual effects, offering a dramatic leap in graphical fidelity. By simulating the way light behaves in the real world, this shader pack transforms your Minecraft environment into a richly immersive experience.

Unlike standard shaders, MollyVX brings real-time global illumination from natural light sources such as the sun, moon, and sky. The shader introduces physically accurate shadows, advanced reflection systems, and enhanced atmospheric effects, all in real time. However, due to the intense graphical demands, it requires a minimum of GTX 1080 or AMD equivalent to run smoothly at 60 FPS. Note: Apple Silicon (M1) GPUs are currently not supported.

Whether you’re building fantasy landscapes, modern cities, or just exploring, MollyVX brings cinematic beauty to every corner of your Minecraft world.
