Description
A simple shader made for creating vanilla-styled thumbnails. Includes sun direction and shadow settings.
The purpose of the shader pack is to help thumbnail makers get good shadows without having to do any post-processing in Photoshop to try and recreate how shadows would've looked in a vanilla setting.
