MaterialBinLoader

MaterialBinLoader is a program that allows you to load the shader file material.bin as a resource pack, similar to the existing HAL engine. On Windows, you can easily use MaterialBinLoader through BetterRenderDragon. First, download the latest version of BetterRenderDragon, then unzip the downloaded files. After that, simply run the bat file. MaterialBinLoader is enabled by default in BetterRenderDragon, so you just need to apply the shader that supports MaterialBinLoader as a resource pack.

Manual Installation

If MaterialBinLoader is not supported, you will need to modify the Minecraft render file directly. Here’s how:

1. First, install Bedrock Launcher. Bedrock Launcher allows you to change versions of Minecraft and easily access the game files. Create a new installation by selecting your desired version and then play it. If you haven’t changed the file path, the installation will be at C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft_bedrock\versions.
2. Before proceeding, it’s recommended to back up the com.mojang folder located at C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_(varies for each user)\LocalState\games\com.mojang to prevent data loss.
3. Now, go to the version folder you installed, then navigate to data\renderer\material.
4. Replace the material.bin shader file with your desired shader file. Make sure to back up the original file before overwriting it (You can use Bedrock Launcher without running it to access this folder).
5. Launch Minecraft, and you will see the applied shader.

If the shader file includes additional resource pack files like base.mcpack, apply them together as well.

Vanilla2Deferred

It is a program which unlocks the Raytracing Option in Video settings and replaces its function with Deferred Rendering.
NOTE:

• The program is now built into BetterRenderDragon.
• In 1.20.10+ versions, it does not unlock the Raytracing option. Instead, it automatically starts when you join a world.
• In the case of Windows, Android, and Xbox, you can use experimental features.

YSS Special Edition

YSS Special Edition works only for versions 1.19.40 to 1.19.63. Follow the steps mentioned in the Manual Installation for installing the desired version using Bedrock Launcher. After that, download RTX2Deferred 1.2.0 and run the bat file.

BetterRTX

For BetterRTX, you can either follow the steps in Manual Installation to directly install the material.bin or use the official installer provided by BetterRTX. The installer comes in the form of a PowerShell script file (ps1). You can right-click on it and open it with Windows PowerShell with administrator privileges. Alternatively, you can use the PowerShell extension in Vscode to run the script. Before running the installer, make sure that IObit Unlocker is installed on your system.
