Shaders (Immersive Engineering)

Shaders are special upgrades added by Immersive Engineering for various items. They are applied in the Engineer's Workbench, inside the special Shaders slot. Shaders modify the appearance of the item, block or entity they upgrade; they do not add any additional functionality.

Levels
Shaders currently have five different levels (six before 0.8, and four from 0.8 until 0.10-51). Higher levels are more difficult to obtain.
 * 1) Common
 * 2) Uncommon
 * 3) Rare
 * 4) Epic
 * 5) Relic (Removed in 0.8; re-added in 0.10-51)
 * 6) Cosmic (Removed in 0.8+ because of Avaritia not updating)

Levels don't have any differences directly, except for the Cosmic level, which cannot be applied to Balloons.
