3rd party shader support for render dragon

Prior to Render Dragon, the new graphics engine, release on Bedrock, we had the ability to have/use custom shaders. Not only did these shaders provide the capability for better quality and immersive graphics for the game, but they provided a ton of utility as well. Since Render Dragon has released, we have lost the following (and more)

- Chunk Border packs
- Light Level packs
- Hit Box and Sight line packs
- Redstone power indicator packs
- Packs to remove fog effect
-  Packs to remove enchantment glint, particle effects, and the Vignette effect down in caves

With the new capabilities the Render Dragon graphics engine has, it would be a HUGE benefit to the community to allow for 3rd party support to not only take advantage of the things listed above, but to also give the community the ability to create some really amazing looking shaders that rival what Java Edition has, and help draw more people over the the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.


Render Dragon's shaders currently come pre-compiled, so for 3rd party shaders to become possible, we would need Mojang to share their compiler or work flow. Not only would it be great for this to be made available, but for Mojang to actively develop and promote ways for 3rd party creators to make the game more customized and more beautiful for everyone.

    Who agrees that mojang itself should create shaders for ALL Minecraft bedrock platforms?

    Minecraft would have died a long time ago if there weren't any mods ore shaders. Not anyone can afford an rtx graphics card. The people will most likely switch to java edition and Minecraft Bedrock will die.

    Since Render Dragon came out i have been waiting for new and improved shaders, it's a shame that nobody has yet made a non-raytraced shader with all these new and fancy technology.

    It really doesn't make sense to limit shaders to just RTX, since 1) RTX graphics cards are nearly impossible to find in stock, and 2) few people are willing to dish out 1000$ for them

    Yes please allow for 3rd party shaders to be used again. I can tell you I have been running realms for 3 years and when my players started to find great shaders it really upped everyone's involvement and interest.  Most players simply can't afford to buy an RTX capable pc for a while and would like to use the ones that make vanilla look a lot better otherwise!

    Since RTX runs on Renderdragon, if Mojang could share the workflow or code necessary for this very active and talented community, Minecraft Bedrock edition could have the same shader quality to rival Java edition.
    Another reason is since Bedrock uses C++ instead of Java, nearly everyone could not only use but run these shaders above 60 fps. Since C++ is much faster than Java. And I think that is huge.

    We could get better shaders, and it would run faster. There is no reason to not share the code.

    This!

    This would finally help Consoles at least get shaders if thay are not gonna add RT to next gen!

    Not everybody has the luxury to own an RTX card, I'd say that adding 3rd party shader support to the game would be awesome! Other than that shaders make the game more immersive, more pleasing to look at.

    I fully agree! MCPE needs to have Java-like shaders, with sunrays, realistic waters, shadows and more ... Many people are unable to have an RTX or even a computer that supports Java shaders, and are required to play MCPE with relatively bad shaders compared to Java. Mojang needs to invest in mobile devices. It's like I say: It has potential, you just don't do it because you don't want to !.

    shaders must continue, you can't do without! Win10 mainly that we can have a better resolution, minecraft without shaders is infinitely worse.

    in most countries people do not have the money to buy a pc with support for rendering dragon or RTX, this ends up being very sad for those who like to make the game with a better quality, and I am from one of these countries and that is why I I ended up agreeing with the idea

    Mojang needs to listen to this. Shaders hold both a huge practical and aesthetic value to minecraft bedrock edition, and making the only way to use Shaders is to purchase a crazy expensive graphics card is really scummy.

    I really really want shaders. I love bedrock shaders just something about them IDK what it is but personally I like them better than a lot of java shaders and I really think that it would be a major improvement for bedrock to have such features.

    Honestly, mojang should consider this because it would add more customizability to the game making it a thousand times better. I mean you guys can implement RT in this game why not implement 3rd party shaders as well?
