Here are the best settings for Minecraft Shader – BSL running on RTX 4070 Ti alongside Neoforge beta branch, paired with Sodium and Iris.

When it comes to modded Minecraft, BSL shaders are the bread and butter for every Minecraft lover. BSL is one of the easiest ways to run shaders out there, fully using Open GL raster capabilities, and almost any GPU can max it out. The RTX 4070 Ti can handle this shader without any issues. Below are the settings you can refer to while using this shader combination.
Testing methodology: The Neoforge beta branch is used alongside Minecraft 1.21.5, coupled with Sodium, Iris, and then BSL Shaders.

These are baseline settings for the game, over which the shader settings apply. Because of the overwhelming number of settings options within the BSL shaders, we recommend using the Ultra preset. Multiple tests from experts suggest that using the default presets works nicely. In this scenario, we’ve used the original style. If you want something different, you can change it to classic and tweak more options.
