What MakeUp Ultra Fast does

MakeUp Ultra Fast is designed for one purpose: to run on hardware that cannot handle BSL or Photon. It adds colored lighting and basic shadows while keeping frame rate impact low. The file size is 391 KB — smaller than most texture packs [citation:4].

This is not a shader for screenshots. It is a shader for players who want some visual improvement without sacrificing playability.

Version history

The most downloaded recent version is 9.4c with 4.1 million downloads, supporting Minecraft 1.21.11 and older [citation:4]. The latest is 9.5e, released September 6, 2026, supporting 26.2 and older [citation:4].

Installation

  1. Install Iris or OptiFine.
  2. Download the latest MakeUp Ultra Fast .zip from CurseForge [citation:4].
  3. Place the .zip in .minecraft/shaderpacks.
  4. In-game: Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs. Select MakeUp Ultra Fast.
Better than nothing: MakeUp Ultra Fast is not going to look like BSL. It is going to look better than vanilla while running on hardware that cannot handle heavier shaders. That is the point.

Frequently asked questions

Will MakeUp Ultra Fast run on Intel HD Graphics?
Likely yes, but performance depends on your specific CPU and render distance. Try the lowest settings and reduce render distance if needed. This is one of the few shaders designed for integrated graphics.
Does it look good?
It looks better than vanilla. It does not look like a high-end shader. If you want better visuals and have the hardware, use Complementary Reimagined on a higher preset.
Which version should I download?
Download 9.5e for the latest Minecraft versions, or 9.4c if you are on 1.21.11 or older [citation:4]. Check the CurseForge file list for your exact version.
