Earthshade Shaders lights up your game world with realistic effects while keeping the classic vanilla feel. This shader pack works directly with Iris to improve sunbeams, shadows, and water across every biome. Blocks stay clean and landscapes look brighter without changing the simple charm of the original game.
Features:
- Brings realistic lighting to terrain, water, and skies.
- Keeps the familiar look and atmosphere of vanilla blocks.
- Runs smoothly with the Iris shader pipeline.
- Casts soft shadows and natural ambient light across all biomes.
