Modern Shaders (26.3, 1.20.1) – Soft Shadows and Animated Water Reflections

Modern Shaders illuminates your Minecraft world with soft shadows and glowing torchlight. The shader pack runs on Iris and OptiFine, bringing bright godrays and moving water surfaces to your Overworld. It keeps settings easy to adjust so mid-range computers can run the game smoothly without losing visual quality.

Features:

• Soft Shadows: Casts smooth shade under trees and blocks instead of harsh dark lines.
• Reflective Water: Adds animated wave movement and reflections across lakes, rivers, and oceans.
• Sun Rays: Streams bright godrays down through tree leaves and cloud breaks.
• Warm Torchlight: Spreads cozy orange lighting whenever you hold or place a light source.
• Works alongside Iris and OptiFine shader loaders.
• Adds soft bloom effects around bright light sources across the Overworld.
• Includes adjustable options that help balance picture quality and game speed.
