Vanilla Atmosphere Shader enhances your Minecraft Bedrock worlds with cinematic lighting, natural water effects, and soft shadows while keeping standard vanilla block textures. It adjusts skies, sunlight, and moonlit nights across different biomes without changing the classic block artwork. You can also pick between three visual profiles to balance extra water details with game performance.

Features:

Biome-aware skies, lighting, and color grading for distinct environments.
Soft shadows with smooth indirect lighting across your world.
Custom natural water effects with subtle waves and underwater caustics.
Colored light support for torches, lanterns, and soul fire.
Three built-in profiles including Natural, Cinematic, and Performance.
