Deep Shadows
Deep Shadows enhances the depth of Minecraft Bedrock by boosting block corner shadows (Dark Ambient Occlusion). It gives your world a realistic, shader-like contrast while keeping the clean vanilla look completely lag-free.
⚠️ IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT
Make sure Smooth Lighting is turned ON in your Minecraft Video Settings (Settings > Video > Smooth Lighting). If this setting is disabled, the custom shadow depth will not appear in-game.
