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.

    I play on my older pc which doesn't have RTX capable GPU, so I hope Mojang/Microsoft/Nvidia would share their compiler/work flow. Besides, it's very expensive now to try to find RTX capable GPU since cryptocurrency craze and semiconductor shortage! Please, Mojang/Microsoft/Nvidia!

    Like I said before, If the business plan was to release Render Dragon to "block" user created shaders to force people to buy RTX graphics cards, not only is it really expensive and 85% of the community cant afford not to mention the global crisis going on, but this has made me not to want to purchase an RTX EVEN if i had the money, just because how the company is choosing to do this: first: releasing Render Dragon to force players to buy RTX, second: not listening to the community and ignoring twitter post and of course this post here, third: overall using a shady bussiness practice with Nvidia to get people to buy RTX graphics cards.

    At this point where the world is, people loosing their jobs, shortage on the components to make graphics cards and techology like that, RTX graphics cards being so expensive, this feels out of touch and insensitive to us the players.

    Without third party shaders, Minecraft is just gonna be a dead game. As we all know, Mojang is too lazy so I would not expect any shader from Mojang. I've been waiting for not ray tracing shaders from Mojang on my win10 device but there's just none. Mojang must consider that many minecraft players are children or people that don't have a PC so powerful to use ray tracing.

    I think a third-party shader is essential to Minecraft.

    I don't think "Render Dragon" can effectively improve the running effect of the game, which will even cause a greater burden on low configuration devices. Due to the non compilability of "Render Dragon", many Shadow developers of Minecraft Bedrock Edition have withdrawn from the circle. Only by opening the "Render Dragon" can we save this situation and let more players choose Bedrock Edition and let it have a total number of players equal to Java Edition

    So,have pity on them please!

    The removal of shaders from bedrock has to be my least favorite change ever made in the history of Minecraft. The one advantage that bedrock had over Java was its smooth performance with shaders. Now there is no reason to touch bedrock with a 10 meter long pole. Please add this feature back.

    It would be incredible if I made an RTX shader for low-end and mid-range devices that do not have an NVIDIA graphics card, and that this shader like the normal RTX is in the Market Place

    Mojang , Please fix this problem allow 3rd party shaders for minecraft bedrock as we all love shaders and obviously minecraft . All people don't have a RTX graphics card and what you will get by banning shaders , also for your information if your behavior goes like this then people will stop playing minecraft.

    I absolutely guarantee that they sold us out for a fat paycheck, they're definitely profiting off people purchasing rtx compatible devices, and don't care about alienating the large majority of the community who can't afford that kind of set up.

    They watched the community create free, accessible shaders that enhanced the game, and didn't give a toss about it until they realised they could profit off of it instead. And I definitely think they're going to try and lock other community made content behind a paywall as well, they'll look at skins and mods and decide to bring out an update that will disable custom add-ons unless your device has the specs to run their self-owned customizer with a paid subscription.

    Watch. They'll completely destroy the community just to line their pockets.

    Nearly 11,000 votes and not even under review, Mojang are great but I feel they are a bit greedy. The only reason they are doing this is that NVIDIA are paying them money to use render dragon, forcing Minecrafters to buy an incredibly expensive RTX graphics card to use shaders

    don't worry people, we will have good shaders wether mojang(Microsoft) approves or not
    The FWS(Fishy wonderful shaders) developers hava developed a engine (supercura) which can interact with renderdreagon and even Gabriel pixao
    (Seus pe developer) says that it is possible because in the mcpe 1.17.42 beta apk the renderdragon code is readable

    Hey People it's me, the guy in the comment before this one, I heard that mojang is going to announce something Graphics releted during mincon 2021 live on 16 oct . Most probably it's nothing shader releted because it's most likely going to be about the deep dark's darkness effect when the warden is nearby shown during the the minecon live 2020

    I honestly like this idea, It would allow me to run shaders without a RTX card, I mean do you really expect me to pay 1,000 dollars for an rtx card. My laptop can't even support it anyways. And Mojang has not even responed to this, there are literly 11,000 votes.
