Better Renderer [Shader & RTX Tool]
This is a tool that brings back shader packs / allows tweaking RTX & does so in a more convenient way than past methods. All you have to do is launch the program and load your shader/better rtx pack and it will automatically apply it. No having to delete and reinstall files

Step 1: After Downloading the file, unzip it
Step 2: Go inside the folder & into the "Shader Packs" folder, double click on whatever Shaders you want to install
Step 3: Fully apply the Shader in game then exit
Step 4: Go back into the folder and launch the game via "LaunchMinecraft.bat" or the preview version if that's the version of Minecraft you use
Step 5: Once the game is loaded any Shader pack you apply or unapply will automatically be removed or added and you can see them in game
Additional Notes: If you have your own shader you want to use & not the one included skip "Step 2" & apply your own. Also note if you want to swap between packs/subpacks you must restart the game for changes to take effect. Please read the disclaimer below for more information first
This program will not work out of the box with any shader pack which is why one was included along with it but it is very easy to make your own shaders compatible: Create a folder inside your resource pack titled "renderer" then another folder inside that called "materials" then place your material files inside there. If you do this and provide a download option on your shader page your shader will be compatible with this program. If you are an end user and not a developer you can also do this yourself with your favorite shader.
Last disclaimer is that this only works on Windows not Mobile or Console
This is an open source Github project that anyone can contribute to with a very user-friendly free-to-use license agreement: https://github.com/ddf8196/BetterRenderDragon
If you encounter any bugs please go to the "Issues" page and submit a ticket & we will try to help (Warning: Only submit an issue if its an issue with the tool, not with the shader you're using. We do not provide support for other people's shaders)
