Forrest shaders
A beautiful Minecraft shader designed to keep Minecraft's vanilla aesthetics core, but refurbish it with beautiful lighting rays casting through trees…

Forest shaders were designed with the intention of making forests feel more vibrant and alive. You see lighting rays pass through forests with swaying leaves and beautiful lighting scenes. When you hit a corner just right, you'll see exactly what I mean. The shaders hit differently in Minecraft Forest and also peak in the mornings and afternoons. Water is also made to be vibrant and beautiful, but still keep a Minecraft feel. Nothing feels crazy volumetric. It's just slightly more thought through lighting. These shaders are also surprisingly not made by humans but are what I believe to be the first AI-made shaders on Curse Forge because they are made by Fable 5.
