Resource Pack
Enabling glass pane fix
In-game go to Options > Resource Pack, then make sure to enable the built in Glass Pane Fix texture pack from continuity.
Installing resource pack
Assuming you already have downloaded the resourcepacks, move the .zip to your resourcepacks directory. If it is not present create it inside the Minecraft resources directory. Then select it inside Options > Resource Packs.
If you've downloaded an addon, select and put it above the base pack.
Shaders
Choosing the right shader
For any of my texture packs it is recommended to use a fully LabPBR compliant shader, here’s a list of LabPBR shaderpacks. After downloading the desired shader paste the shader.zip file in your shaderpacks directory.
Create if necessary. Now in-game go to Options > Shaders and select the downloaded shader.
Configuring Shaders
Shader settings
In order to achieve screenshot like results we need to change some settings and enable the resourcepack features, to find the recommended settings for your desired shader please move to the shader settings page.
