Silverfish is an experiment exploring what would happen if a shaderpack developer turned to the dark side, creating a shader with visual "enhancements" rather than genuine visual enhancements.

Disclaimer

Please be aware that Silverfish is an experimental project created solely for research and to explore the technical capabilities of shaderpacks. It is not intended to be used as a cheating tool on public multiplayer servers.

Using features like X-Ray or ESP on servers where they are prohibited will likely violate their terms of service and can result in a permanent ban. The author does not condone cheating and is not responsible for any punitive action taken against your account. Use at your own risk.
