I'm having the same problem, but I don't know what GPUs are ?
GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit and it is the processor (or section of processor) that executes graphical instructions. GPU can be used loosely for a graphics card, however I prefer GPU as it is more truthful (integrated graphics cards do not exist as the integrated GPU does not exist on a card). There's typically two types of GPUs, integrated, and dedicated (also called discrete).
An integrated GPU (also known as an iGPU) can be a portion of your CPU die (aka chipset) that is "pretending" to be a GPU, ie it's a dumbed down GPU that is powerful enough to pretty much do what you're seeing now, draw your main UI for your computer onto the screen, maybe watch a HD video, do some web browsing, play a couple games on Facebook or really simple 3D games like Minecraft, and that's it. iGPUs are horrible choices for gaming computers as they are not powerful enough to render a game's world out quick enough to play the game smoothly (at all in some cases). iGPUs also share memory with your computer, so your iGPU will be dedicated a portion of system RAM to use, usually anywhere between a hundred or so megabytes, to 1 to 2 gigabytes, depending on the iGPU and amount of RAM installed, and OS settings. They tend to come on really cheap computers, business-grade laptops or desktop-grade CPUs which act as a backup GPU in case your dedicated GPU dies on you.
Speaking of which, dedicated GPUs are full processors which are entirely designed to execute graphical instructions, and thus are many times stronger than iGPUs. Dedicated GPUs tend to come on their own board (or card) which acts as an expansion card typically fitted into an expansion slot such as a PCIe slot, or they can be soldered onto the mother board or perhaps fitted via a proprietary slot type, but typically still have a form of PCIe expansion technology (compared to iGPUs which are either found on the CPUs die itself, or soldered onto the motherboard directly, rather than the graphics card soldered on, see the difference). Dedicated GPUs also contain their own dedicated memory, which tends to be faster and has a wider bus bandwidth than system memory, hence the name dedicated. Dedicated GPUs can be found in a lot of places, most desktop PCs make use of a dedicated graphics card as the primary adapter, higher end business-grade or performance-oriented laptops make use of dedicated GPUs to provide the extra kick to performance when it needs it, and super computers make heavy use of dedicated GPUs (dedicated GPUs are very good at parallel-processing, that is processing many operations simultaneously, so where a CPU would have to say wait for the current frame to render before it moves on to the next, a GPU can make intelligent use of memory and render multiple frames (limited on GPU performance and memory restrictions) at once, and just dump them into memory for a display device to fetch, typically super computers render "frames" of say a complex physics simulation). However, dedicated graphics cards a are much bigger in size compared to iGPUs, b pull more power than an iGPU, and c produce much more heat than an iGPU, and thus several steps are taken into action to work around these problems, which I'll describe shortly. Dedicated GPUs are much better for gaming, and excel in media creation in comparison to integrated GPUs.
Laptops that use dedicated GPUs typically include a special driver which intelligently allows the OS to decide which GPU to use is better (dedicated vs integrated) for a given scenario, and thus hot-swap between them while the system is running. For instance, if you're watching a Youtube video, surfing the forums or writing an essay for school, the laptop will use the iGPU to save on power and reduce heat output, but launch a game up and it will swap to the dedicated GPU to give the extra performance boost it needs.
In regards to Minecraft, you need a dedicated graphics card to run shaders, they will not work well on iGPUs, and especially won't on any Intel iGPUs (typically found by opening the Device Manager, opening Display Adapters, and if you only see an Intel adapter listed there, your computer won't run shaders well, at all in most cases, if you see an Intel adapter and another adapter made by AMD / ATI or NVIDIA, firstly do some research to see if it is an integrated or dedicated one, and if it's dedicated search up how to make an application run using that particular brand's graphics card and follow the tutorial for all Java installs you have on your computer (specifically add java.exe and javaw.exe), if you only have an adapter listed made by AMD / ATI or NVIDIA, same steps as before, research, if it's dedicated it should work). Minecraft shaders have been compared to running Battlefield 4 on Ultra in terms of how much of an impact to performance it has, so don't expect to run SEUS 10.2 Preview 1 Ultra, at fullscreen 1080p on a laptop with a crappy Intel iGPU.

I've tried everything but all the videos on Youtube is about the sky flashing and glitching
I am getting the chunks and stuff even clouds but in the day the sky is pure black while the
chunk is bright.
I've even tried deleting the things it had problems with but that didn't work either please help D:
And these are the errors I get when I boot up the Shaderpack
Intel GPU, shaders won't function correctly on any Intel GPUs, try lower end packs.

Okay, thank you
