Hello Everyone,
In the unfortunate case of anyone not realising that shaders has been recently updated to 1.7.2, I have created this thread to inform you of it. If you do not know what shaders is, it is a mod that brings shadows and other realistic lighting to minecraft and was available in 1.6.4, it has taken a large amount of time to update because of the complex changes in the Minecraft code and thus the needed changes in FML (forge mod loader). At the current time shaders is in beta and so is very glitchy and buggy, shaders is now compatible with optifine so I recommend installing this as well to boost your fps. The links to all parts needed of the GLSL shaders and an updated shader pack (Sonic Ether's Unbelievable Shaders) are as follows:
SEUS - (not the official page, but is the updated version)
GLSL Shaders - again not the official page but is the updated version
Forge - Using the 1.7.2 download(1.7.2)
Optifine - Latest version (20/01/14)
Tips

Tips
- Use standard shader pack with no resource pack to check FPS and compatibility.
- If you get a white screen when using the mod - follow this tutorial: (possibly use the second fix if you don't have a NVidia GFX card.)
- Follow this tutorial if you do not know how to install the mod (using the links in this thread that are updated)
- If your game crashes when using the mod, your PC is probably not powerful enough.
- System Requirements - Just try the mod and if you can support the mod I would expect 30-90fps and possibly more with optifine. If you get lower FPS reduce your render distance to short or tiny. If you have a decent computer but cannot run the mod currently I suggest waiting for Optifine compatibility.
- To fix the login issue (logging in to any servers from a hub ie. MCSG), login to a single-player world with shaders turned off then logout and in to the MCSG hub. Try joining a game and it should work. If it doesn't try multiple times.
