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.

    sharing the knowledge on how to make render dragon shaders would make bedrock shaders not only available to most bedrock players including xbox players and (in the future) ps5 players but also might bring them on par with java shaders, as well as encouraging the community to tinker and create more for bedrock edition.

    This would be a massive help. I've always wanted to get shaders and graphical updates and maybe they could be sold on the marketplace for console users.

    I miss bedrock shader, why are you forcing us to buy RTX? we don't have money, only rich players can do that!

    Not everyone has an RTX graphics card or can afford one. Let alone actually finding someone that stocks them, especially with all the scalpers.

    So giving us the ability to add our own shaders back on MC would be great!

    Idk if mojang did this as a bussines practice, to get people to buy RTX graphics cards or something, either way, they´ve taken a way a piece of customization behind a very large pay wall, 3/4 of the players either don't have enough money, or simply dont have a pc that can take a RTX graphics card.

    Let them add such a function so that we can make a shadow in the shape of the items block of mobs and Lithuania as in the java version of shaders and let them modify the existing functions and see them up to the level of the java version, as well as make it so that we can easily create java shaders and then run them in minecraft bedrock edition mobile without any optifine

    This would be beneficial for the community who like shaders (& the other stuff that comes with this)

    I personally used shaders long ago when they still worked, i felt more...addicted to PLAY, not just mess around in creative all the time or just wander around a world then get bored & delete.

    I used to try build cool things with shaders, i used to enjoy the athletics & design...but i and many of us in the community just dont have shaders for that passion anymore.

    Hopefully soon enough (but not too soon where you get overworked, after all, your still doing caves and clifs while i type this! 😄

     

    We are missing these things:

    - 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

    I'd really want this to be fixed in the following updates because as stated the possibilities will be amazing and currently you need at least an rtx 2060 if you want to play with rtx. As of right now due to the gpu shortage these cards are too expensive for the budget of most people so that's why we used shaders. If Mojang isn't going to add support for shaders at least state why because at this point we're not sure if its intended or just a bug.

    The utility aspect is what matters the most to me.  I do want to use RTX because, frankly, it looks awesome.  However, I also want the ability to see chunk borders and light levels, redstone guides, etc.  Most of these utilities are just built into Java Edition.  Those same features aren't available to us in Bedrock Edition.  Shaders were the only way to accomplish that but now we can't even do that.

    I don't know enough about the Render Dragon technology to know whether third party shaders can take take advantage of the RTX features but it would seem to me that, if they can, that would only drive more usage and more players.   I would love to see this support added.  Of course, I also wouldn't mind seeing the debug screen and its related tools added to Bedrock as well.

    Mojang really listens to the player base, many ppl who play bedrock don't have RTX cards and can't use the Day Tracing features. And the 3rd party shaders were a great way of getting a similar feel for ppl with decent PCs. I could they wanted to be the case, but plz mojang, try to fix this ASAP :>

    I didn't use any real mods with additional elements, but shaders were always ok. to me. In addition, some shaders could add missing functionality that Java has and does not bedrock. As it is now, the Bedrock version has been clearly disadvantaged again ... I don't understand.
