The pack began in 2015 as Daniel Rodriguez Moya's work. unicornblood2468 updates it with his permission, and the base comes from Sonic Ether. The creator states it works with any Java release that has a shaders mod or OptiFine, and that CurseForge's supported-version label does not apply to shaders.

Does Beyond Belief Shaders work on Mac?
No. The pack does not work on Mac or with Intel GPUs. It is built for Java on Canvas, Iris and OptiFine, and Bedrock cannot run Iris or OptiFine either. Players on a Mac or with Intel graphics will need to pick a different shader pack instead.
How do I install Beyond Belief Shaders?
Install Iris, OptiFine or Canvas, then put the pack's .zip in the shaderpacks folder. Launch Java and select Beyond Belief Shaders in the loader's shader menu. Iris users find it under Video Settings, Shader Packs. Bedrock Edition cannot run it, because Iris and OptiFine are Java mods.
Who makes Beyond Belief Shaders?
The pack was started in 2015 by Daniel Rodriguez Moya. unicornblood2468 now updates it and publishes it on CurseForge with his permission. The base comes from Sonic Ether, and some tonemaps and the custom box come from BBVR.
