Aerie Shaders
Aerie is a pipeline shader for Canvas that unifies the Vanilla style while adding some useful new features like TAA, bloom, autogenerated normals, and colored handheld lighting.
Canvas is a client-side optimization mod similar to Sodium and Optifine. It increases performance by using shaders for game rendering, and allows custom third-party shaders using an entirely different format. Aerie requires Canvas, and as such, it will never work with Optifine or Iris!
