Ebin Resurrected is a vibrant and performant Minecraft shaderpack.
Ebin began with the goal of being fast, beautiful, configurable, feature-rich, and having a base of well-written code. It was developed by BruceKnowsHow from 2016-2020. jbritain resumed development of the shader in 2024 under the name 'Ebin Resurrected'. This is a fork of Ebin which brings compatibility with modern versions of Minecraft, and significantly improves upon aspects of the shader, such as PBR.

Compatibility
Minecraft
- Optifine and Iris are both supported, however some features only work on Iris. Older Optifine or Iris versions may have issues, as the shader is developed on the latest versions of either.
- Minecraft 1.17.1 is the earliest tested version. The shader may work on older versions but this is not guaranteed.
Hardware
- OpenGL 4 compatible hardware is required. This boils down to Nvidia GeForce 400, AMD Radeon HD 5000, Intel HD 3rd gen or later. Any modern device should work fine.
- The Raspberry Pi is not supported as it does not support OpenGL 4.
- Intel GPUs are untested and you may encounter issues. If you do encounter issues, please report them, as Intel is intended to be supported.
Operating System
- MacOS is NOT SUPPORTED.
