Installation

Note

Shaders are not officially supported on Minecraft Bedrock. The following are unofficial ways to load shaders.

Linux: mcpelauncher-manifest

1. Extract material.bin files from shader mcpack / build materials from source.
2. Move these files to data root mcpelauncher/versions/1.20.x/assets/renderer/materials/. (Make sure to backup all files in this folder first)
3. Import the resource pack and activate it in global resources.

Windows:

1. Use BetterRenderDragon to enable MaterialBinLoader.
2. Import the resource pack and activate it in global resources.

Android:

1. Install Patched Minecraft App
2. Import the resource pack and activate it in global resources.

Building

Install dependencies

• Git
• Python 3.11 or higher required
• Python packages lazurite and rich

Get source code

git clone https://github.com/devendrn/newb-x-mcbe/
cd newb-x-mcbe

Setup build environment

Note

On Windows, you should use .\build.bat instead of ./build.sh for all following commands.

./build.sh setup

This will download shaderc binary and material data required to build shader.

Compile specific shader materials

./build.sh mats

Compiled material.bin files will be inside build/<platform>/
Command usage:

usage: build mats [-h] [-p {android,windows,merged,ios}] [-m M [M ...]] [-s S]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p {android,windows,merged,ios}
                        build profile
  -m M [M ...]          build materials (eg: Sky)
  -s S                  subpack config to use (eg: NO_WAVE)

Compile and build full shader pack

./build.sh pack

The final mcpack will be inside build/.  Command usage:

usage: build pack [-h] [-p {android,windows,merged,ios}] [--no-zip] [--no-label] [-v V]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p {android,windows,merged,ios}
                        build profile
  --no-zip              don't make archive
  --no-label            don't label materials
  -v V                  version number eg: 46
