Include shaders (stored in <code>assets/<namespace>/shaders/include</code>) contain helper functions and variables that can be used in multiple shader programs. These must have the <code>.glsl</code>, <code>.vsh</code>, or <code>.fsh</code> file extensions.

	~~{{INUntil\|je 26.3}}, to import an include shader add one of the following import directives anywhere in a vertex or fragment shader program~~		To import an include shader you can use the <code>#include</code> directive with an identifier pointing to a shader. For example:
	* <code>#moj_import <filepath.glsl></code> imports a file from <code>assets/minecraft/shaders/include/<filepath>.glsl</code>
	* <code>#moj_import <namespace:path.glsl></code> imports a file from <code>assets/<namespace>/shaders/include/<path>.glsl</code>
	* <code>#moj_import "filepath.glsl"</code> imports a file from <code>assets/minecraft/shaders/core/<filepath>.glsl</code>

	~~{{INUpcoming\|je 26.3}}, to~~ import an include shader you can use the <code>#include</code> directive with an identifier pointing to a shader. For example:
	* <code>#include <filepath.glsl></code> imports a file from <code>assets/minecraft/shaders/include/<filepath>.glsl</code>		* <code>#include <filepath.glsl></code> imports a file from <code>assets/minecraft/shaders/include/<filepath>.glsl</code>
