Welcome to Continuum Graphics!
Select a project below, or scroll to learn more
Our namesake products are a selection of highly customizable shaderpacks for Minecraft with support for many high end graphical effects usually only seen in the latest, most cutting edge AAA titles.
A high resolution, realistically themed Texture Pack for Minecraft. It features Physically Based Rendering and Parallax Occlusion Mapping support, though the use of high quality Specular & Normal maps.
Continuum Shaders
Continuum 2.1
Continuum is not what it used to be. Since the release of 1.3 and later, 2.0, it has been rewritten from the ground up with realism and quality in mind. It brings nearly every AAA graphical effect you could want to Minecraft. Including Volumetric Lighting, PBR, SSR, full 3D Volumetric clouds, POM, TAA, etc.. It also includes a host of options to make it your own. Such as a realistic & highly configurable camera system, expansive color options and LUT support.
While Continuum 2.0 is available for free on our downloads page, we are currently working on Continuum 2.1. With 2.1 we aim to create an even more polished version of our non-RT shader, with a heavy focus on performance, quality and player immersion.
If that sounds interesting to you, and you’d like to try Continuum 2.1 ahead of it’s official release, and/or support the project, you can grab a Early Access package from the shop and start playing with 2.1 now!
Continuum RT
Continuum RT aims to make fully Ray-Traced Minecraft a reality. With the use of Hierarchical Voxel Tracing, Spatio-Temporal Filtering, and the latest lighting models. We have created something that we think is absolutely stunning, and is capable of running in real time on modern consumer graphics hardware (recommended: GTX 1080 or higher).
Unlike other Minecraft Shaders Continuum RT is not a hybrid engine. Everything is ray traced, all blocks, all entities, and eventually custom geometry! RT is full of brand new features like proper refraction through glass and water, pixel perfect shadows from ALL light sources, and state of the art cloud systems with path traced lighting; all driven by our robust camera and familiar toning systems as their counterparts in the original, non-RT Continuum Minecraft Shaders.

Continuum Legacy
Legacy is being built for those of you who miss Continuum 1.3, but don’t use it because of poor compatibility, poor performance, or bugs.
We heard you.
Continuum Legacy is a complete rewrite of Continuum 1.3, bringing with it more efficiency, more hardware compatibility, and more polish than 1.3 ever had. With new features like TAA and most of the camera settings you’re used to in Continuum 2.0, Legacy should be everything that you guys wanted, and more.
Screenshot is of 1.3. Legacy is still in early development.
Stratum
AAA Quality
Stratum is a realistic, high resolution and high quality resourcepack for Minecraft, built with shader compatibility in mind. It supports many high end shader effects,. Including Parallax Occlusion Mapping; which provides a new layer of depth to surfaces in game. As well as high quality normal and specular maps. Stratum also uses fully Physically Based materials, just like many AAA titles do today.
Shader Compatibility
Stratum is being built specifically with our Continuum series of Minecraft shaderpacks in mind. With that said, it should work well with a variety of other Minecraft shaders. It should also run on a variety of systems. More modest gaming rigs can choose one of the lower resolution options, such as 256x, or maybe 512x. Higher end systems can go with 1024x. The highest end systems of the future can use the full 2048x pack.

For now, the pack is only going to cover the base Minecraft textures, but in the future there will likely be add-on modules for mods, such as Better Foliage, or even Buildcraft. That said, as it is still currently being developed, the focus is only on finishing the base Minecraft textures for now.
If you would like to try Stratum now, or just support the project, you can purchase an Early Access package below. Updates are made available on a regular basis and are pushed directly to your downloads page as soon as they are available.
