# **Soft Memory**
## Recover what they took from us!
**Miss those memories where things were more colorful, brigther and there were no problems?, well... I have studied hundreds and hundreds of nostalogic images and tried several patterns to create something that feels safe... something that can resemble a childhood memory! I trully recommend you to check the gallery and experience for your self!**
**This is an edit from [Mellow Shader](https://modrinth.com/shader/mellow) by The CMK. I challanged myself to edit it on an intel igpu and it had to run so I am sure that you can run the shader in any device. Special thanks to The CMK, you are the GOAT.**
#Update 1.16!
**Version 1.16 comes with very great news!**
- Apple silicon support (keep in mind that colored lightning is not supported and turning it on will result **~~in a crash~~**, this is an issue on apple only supportng opengl 4.1 and can't be fixed)
- Better sunsets
- Rainbow appears on water reflection now!
- and my favourite of all (and the part that was rewritten...) A new block reflection/pbr/parallax system (needs a pbr compatible texture pack to work)!
See for yourself!
### Improved block reflection
### Rainbow reflection on water
### Improved sunset
## Childhood Summer mode :
### How it looks like:
This mode tries to resemble summer nostalogic memories. It hits its peak at sunrise and sunset. The combination of saturated and vibrant colors, bloom uneven grain and a tiny bit of color chanel splitting can bring what I call home.
## VHS mode :
### How it looks like:
This brings the "Mom said it is my turn on the xbox" memory. It oposed to Childhood summer in terms of colors as it is desaturaated and with less contrast. You can see most of the classic artifacts that VHS tapes caused. If you enjoy how VHS cameras worked this mode is the best for you
## Compatibility
The following gpus are compatible with Soft Memory, but as always some issues might appear and if so I would appreciate very much that you could report on my [patreon!](https://www.patreon.com/IslandAggravating/posts/suggestions-and-163788870?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link)
- Intel igpus;
- Intel dgpus (untested might work);
- AMD igpus/dgpus (untested might work);
- Nvidia gpus;
- Apple Silicon (Soft Memory 1.16 and later);
## Quality Presets:
- **Fast** - it is the most cut down version of all 4, I don't recomend playing with this preset unless you want very simple effects and maximize your FPS;
- **Fancy (recomended for high FPS normal gameplay)** - has more effects than fast but not all of the effects that the shader packs. It is a perfect balance between quality and performance;
- **Fabulous (recomended for normal gameplay)** - this preset has all of the effects enabled at a reasonable quality,not as fast as fancy)
- **Ultra (recomended only for screenshots or renders)** - it doesn't add more effects than fabulous. It only sets the quality to the max ensuring a crisp and detailed image.**It takes a lot of your FPS so BE CAREFUL**
**The following screenshots were taken with Fabulous mode:**
