Vanilla Plus Shaders 1.19 / 1.18

Some shader and resource packs over-improve Minecraft. Instead of developing Minecraft, they’re rebranding. They replace Minecraft’s visuals instead of improving them. Vanilla Plus Shaders handles lighting and shaders differently. To improve Minecraft, Vanilla Plus shader set was implemented. RRe36, a Minecraft fan, created Vanilla Plus Shaders. Shader set, introduced in 2019, has been updated often. The developer fixes bugs and compatibility issues with regular updates. The beautiful images and continuous updates have helped Vanilla Plus Shaders reach 900,000 downloads. Shader pack features are used by several notable Minecraft YouTubers. The shader pack creators concentrated on various areas to improve vanilla Minecraft. REe36, the shader pack’s main developer, worked hard to create a wonderful project. The Vanilla Plus shader set has many features. Godrays, dynamic shadows, volumetric clouds, lens flare, motionblur, Bloom, and temporal anti-aliasing are the shader set’s key features. These improvements enhance various gaming features without affecting any texture or resolution. The immediate result is sharper tree, leaf, dirt, gravel, block, mob, creep, and player textures. Meanwhile, game shadows are sharper. Much less fuzzy and grainy. When installing the shader pack, motionblur is also evident.

Vanilla Plus Shaders reduces screen tearing when moving swiftly or panning the camera and provides a bluer game effect. Godrays and lens flare enhance lighting. This brightens the lighting and reduces its negative impact on distant things. This greatly improves depth of field and drawing distance. The Sun and Moon lighting is also better than in vanilla Minecraft. Volume clouds improve these enhancements. Instead of boxy, the new clouds are cartoonish but still Minecraft clouds. Last but not least, the ocean will look different. With Vanilla Plus Shaders’ other capabilities and smoother water motion, underwater illumination is considerably better. Clearer, more natural water has replaced blurriness. The game improves greatly with Vanilla Plus Shaders. Minecraft looks better without changing textures using this shader pack. This beauty comes with a price. Vanilla Plus Shaders need more resources to run. It also fails with Intel HD 5000 graphics. It needs a modern graphics card with all capabilities and playable frame rates. Shader packs impair game performance, therefore PvP players may not utilize them. Hardcore PvP players dislike motion blur. Disabling Vanilla Plus Shaders features increases frame rates. But framerates will still be lower than in vanilla Minecraft. Vanilla Plus Shaders requires OptiFine to install due of its specific features and sky texture adjustments. The developer advises installing the shader pack with OptiFine 1.18.x or above. The shader pack may not work with all source packs, so try alternative combinations.
