Unbound Visual +

Unbound Visual+

Unbound Visual+ is a modified shader pack based on Complementary Unbound. It adds extra effects, visual enhancements, and a richer overall color presentation.

Compared with the original shader, Unbound Visual+ introduces different visual effects and adjustments while also increasing the overall saturation. This project is not intended to criticize or discredit other shader packs, nor does it claim ownership of their original work. It is simply a modified version created from another user’s shader pack. If you encounter any issues while using it, please report them to the project team.

There is also a version called Unbound Visual+ PT (Path Tracing). Since both versions belong to the same project, the PT version can be found in the “Version” section.

Performance

If you experience stuttering or low frame rates, start by switching the profile to Low. If Low still does not provide a smooth experience, try Standard. When your hardware has sufficient performance, you can select Ultra for more impressive visuals—the visual quality that defines Visual+.

A new Cinematic profile has also been added. This mode was designed specifically for players who enjoy natural scenery, environmental atmosphere, and beautiful landscapes. If scenic views and detailed lighting are your priority, Cinematic is the recommended option.

Original Features

• Built-in god rays and volumetric lighting.
• Updated and optimized PBR support for resource packs such as Patrick's.
• A modified SSR technique with several additional effects and improvements.
• Self-reflection and player reflection using SSBO, SSR, and WSR; available in the Ultra, Cinematic, and Standard profiles.
• More natural and denser fog.
• Enhanced colored lighting for stronger variation between different light sources.

PT Features

• Global Illumination (GI).
• Light Bounce.
• Screen-Space Path-Tracing (SSPT).
• Standard Film ACES filter.
• A new setting for adjusting GI intensity.
• TAA to improve rendering stability and visual detail.
• AgX for more natural and balanced sunlight; this feature may have compatibility conflicts with ACES Film.

Advisory

The self-reflection technique used in the reflection block is not fully polished yet. Issues such as reflection leakage, data loss, and rendering errors may still occur. Improvements are currently in progress, so please keep these limitations in mind when using the shader.

Requirements

• Install a compatible version of Iris for both your chosen shader version and the Minecraft version you are playing.
• Install Fabric.
• Performance optimization and memory-management mods may be used optionally.
