A light, easy-on-your-GPU shaderpack that makes vanilla Minecraft look warmer and more alive without the heavy cost of full lighting engines.
Features
- ☁️ Procedural clouds: puffy, wind-driven clouds that shade themselves toward the sun and have silver edges. They glow orange at sunset, go dark at night and turn grey in rain.
- 🌿 Waving foliage: grass, flowers, ferns and leaves sway in the wind, with stronger sway during rain.
- 🌊 Animated water: gentle waves, a clearer blue-teal tint and sun glints in daylight. Glass and ice keep their own look.
- 🔥 Warm torchlight: torches cast a warm orange glow, while shaded areas get a cool bluish tint.
- 🎬 Cinematic colour: filmic tonemapping, a warm sunrise and sunset tint, a cool underwater tint, a soft vignette and dithering to hide banding.
- 🌫️ Distance fog: it hides chunk pop-in and tightens underwater.
Settings
Under Shader Options you can toggle clouds and foliage waving, and adjust cloud coverage, speed, height and size, wave strength, exposure, saturation and vignette.
