Host Shrimple

Shrimple is a colored-lighting, pbr and vanilla-like Minecraft shader from Null with 1.5M downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Iris and Optifine, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Shrimple is free to download and free to host on Orca: host it on a free Orca server and invite your friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Shrimple along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.

A simple Minecraft Java shader that attempts to maintain the vanilla aesthetic while adding optional shadows, colored lighting, and ray-tracing.
