Forget-me-not Shaders

Forget-me-not is a semi-realistic pipeline shader for the Can-Pipe mod, with the goal of using a wide variety of visual effects for a diverse Minecraft experience.

Can-Pipe is a continuation of Canvas, a client-side renderer mod that uses shaders for advanced rendering. Its rendering system is entirely different from Optifine, Aperture, Iris, and Sodium; thus, it will not work with any of these mods.

See the how to use section for installation instructions.

notice

If you're a developer or mod hoster, Forget-me-not is licensed under the LGPL v3.0, so please make sure to read over its terms if you use any of Forget-me-not's original code or distribute it.

Additionally, the only places Forget-me-not is officially released to are the GitHub and Modrinth pages. If you're finding Forget-me-not on a mod rehosting site like 9minecraft, it's much safer to just download it from the official (ad-free!) pages instead.

how to use third-party shaders with canvas

1. Be sure you're on a Minecraft version with a recent release of Can-Pipe available (21.1.X as of this writing). Support is not guaranteed for versions that Can-Pipe doesn't actively support. You can check the supported Minecraft versions of the mod here.

2. Install Fabric or NeoForge.

3. Get Can-Pipe through Modrinth. Can-Pipe should not be installed alongside Sodium, Iris, Aperture, OptiFine, or OptiFabric.

4. Download your preferred pipeline shaderpack. If you're looking for an alternative to Forget-me-not, try out Lumi Lights Plus by spiralhalo.

5. Launch your game, put your downloaded .zip file into your resourcepacks folder and activate the resource pack. (There's no need to extract it!)

6. Navigate to Options/Video Settings/Quality & Performance/Pipeline and keep clicking until the pipeline you want to use is selected.

Note: You can also get in-development versions of Forget-me-not on GitHub! The easiest way is to git clone the repository into your resource pack folder directly, but you can also download the repository as a .zip file (in which case you'll have to extract it).

credits

Forget-me-not wouldn't have gotten as far as it did without the support of various people across the Canvas and shaderLABS communities. Special thanks to:

• fewizz, for bringing Canvas into modern versions as the developer of Can-Pipe! Additionally, they made many invaluable contributions to Forget-me-not itself, including the high quality raytracer and countless bug fixes and reports
• spiralhalo for lots of help in my Canvas journey, as well as their original pipeline shader, Lumi Lights, for inspiration and references for a working TAA implementation
• Grondag and spiralhalo for the years of development they put into the original Canvas mod, and hearing out my many feature requests along the way
• supsm for their many hours of active testing, as well as their work towards their Forget-me-not fork, Brunnera!
• The shaderLABS discord channel #snippets for many useful code snippets
• @jahan.artt for both of Forget-me-not's icons!
