How do I connect with my friend that also has shaders?
I have Sildur's Shaders for 1.8 the same with my friend, we also have the same Forge version same Optifine version too, How can he connect to me or me to him while having Shaders?
When we try to connect to each other using LAN (Open To Lan) The message: "Failed to login: Access Token can not be null or empty"
We can't make a Server though

This isn't a problem with the shaders mods you have. The error "Failed to login: Access Token can not be null or empty" is an error indicating that the way you logged in to minecraft bugged out.
If the person getting that error is still logging in with their username instead of a new style account they can need to go to Mojangs account migration page and migrate to a new style account (where you log in with your email address).
If that isn't it they should try to log out and log back in again, that might fix it (it's a bit of a vague error according to my research).
Also note: I'm not 100% sure but you might get this error if you are both logging in with the same account information, you will need 2 separate Minecraft accounts.

Can you play Minecraft with shaders with friends?
However, the mods used to load the shader (Forge) can be spotted by the server (Because it is also useable in servers which use mods) in LAN as well as a "normal" server.Can you use shaders in LAN?
Dragging the installed file to the Shaderpacks folder in your Minecraft installation. This can be found by going to the Options section of your Optifine version of Minecraft, then clicking Video settings > Shaders > Shaders folder. Once the shader is placed there, you're good to go!I got shaders!! 😍 with my friend
