Shader Control v8.1.2 (09 Dec 2025) is a powerful editor extension for Unity that provides full control over shader compilation and keyword usage, significantly improving game development efficiency. It allows users to remove unnecessary shaders and keywords, reducing both build time and final app size. When building a game, Unity compiles all shaders and their variants, which can be time-consuming—especially when shaders use multiple keywords that generate thousands of variations. Shader Control streamlines this process by enabling precise management of shader variants, ensuring faster builds and smaller application sizes. Supported on Unity 2019.4.13 or higher, this update is available for free.
