Can you add shader code to a .tres file?

Reve

Is it possible to add shader code to a .tres file? Im messing around with this voxel project: https://github.com/Zylann/voxelgame/tree/godot4
Each voxel's data is stored in a file called voxel_library.tres. Each voxel inside of voxel_library.tres has its own material section in which you can load one of three types of .tres files that represent a material type. One for foliage one for solids and one for transparent voxels.
My question is how can I find and edit the shader code of those material.tres files?
When I open the, terrain_material_transparent.tres, for example, I dont see any section for shader code...
But I know the shader code is unique for each of the three materials...

These look like standard materials (the materials that come with the engine). If you open the project, and then click on the material in the inspector, there is a drop down arrow next to the name, click that and then convert to shader material. Then you can edit the code.

cybereality Thanks! But what do you mean by "click on the material"? What is the material? I thought the material was the .tres file?
Do you mean material_override inside each voxel's material slot inside voxel_library.tres? If so, that seems tedious to copy and paste shader code for each voxel

I'm not familiar with that project so I'm not sure.
