Thank you for the steps pawn!  However. I have gotten to step 12 before.  The problem is that my desktop gets a blue screen error when I click"done" can anyone help with that?

[PPawn1]

Like your computer blue screens and freezes or just your minecraft?

[HaydenTheBuilder]

first, my mouse starts lagging, then 10 seconds later, this blue screen comes up saying that windows has been shut down to protect my pc. then it restarts. this happens every time.

[PPawn1]

In most cases that would mean that your computer isn't powerful enough to handle the resources required to run the mod. :\

I wouldn't try this mod again until you get a better graphics card, you could do some serious damage to your computer by letting it blue screen over and over.

Well, if you're seeing BSODs when you load the world, that's more of an issue with your processor failing to... process the resources required to run the beautiful shade and water reflections.  The graphics card only speeds up the visual rendering of the effects but the processor is what actually *applies* the effects to the game.  An upgraded graphics card will definitely boost your frames while running shaders, but if your processor cant handle the load (blue screens) at all, then I'd upgrade that first, if possible.

Hope this helps

Thank you guys for helping me.
Now i really want a better pc lol

What PC do you have now? Or, if you know, what are the specs?

^?

[HaydenTheBuilder]

Here are my computer specs (btw it is a very old custom built computer built in 2002 but compared to that it runs unmodded minecraft pretty well about 40-80 fps)

AMD athlon(tm) ll X2 250
Processor
3.23GHz, 1.75GB RAM

(not made in USA)

[HaydenTheBuilder]

Also, my graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 4500, which i know is VERY bad. (It came out so long ago)

[Stitch 🔷 Jordyn]

Well, if you're not able to spend heaps of money on upgrades, your best bet for cost-effectiveness may be to upgrade the RAM. You can get another 4 GB (2 x 2GB cards) for around $40 or less, much cheaper than a new processor or video card

If I were you, check how many RAM cards your motherboard supports and over how many channels; If you have 1 x 2GB card in now and the mobo supports 3-channel RAM, I would personally try an extra set of 2 x 2GB cards and see if that boosts the performance with shaders.  Like Chris said though, the video card is definitely the biggest factor here as far as the frames go, but the extra RAM should give your processor a little more to work with.  If you need suggestions for RAM, I'd personally recommend the blue Corsair Vengeance RAM (Got 8GB of it in my own machine); the heatsinks on top come at an extra price but the cooler the better as with anything inside a computer.

Hope it helps
