Photon Shaders gives Minecraft a natural and high-performance visual style. This shader pack focuses on impressive graphics without needing raytracing. It features beautiful, dynamic clouds that change shape and color depending on the weather and time of day. The water is also clean and transparent, reflecting the sky and sunlight just like in real life.
