Description
Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share my Vanilla Shader Project with you all. I’m still a beginner in the world of programming, but it’s been an incredible journey learning how this works and seeing the results of many hours spent in front of the screen.

I’ve just released Version 2 (V2). While it was technically "ready," I felt it needed some extra polishing (and it still does!). Please keep in mind that there are still plenty of bugs, but I’m committed to fixing them as I learn.
Note: Currently, it does not support Sodium, but I’m working hard to make that happen soon!
🟢 What’s New in V2
- Toon/Retro Lighting: Light sources now feature silhouettes for a stylized, classic game aesthetic.
- Bouncing & Indirect Light: New mechanics for light accumulation and bounce.
- True Darkness: Nights are now significantly darker and more atmospheric.
1) What this shader does
- Enhanced Lighting: Change global illumination and light.
- Diferrent Visuals: Tweaks colors and contrast.
- Performance is not bad: Designed to run on mid-range hardware.
2) Why you should try it
- New Feel: provide a "moody" atmosphere.
- Plug & Play: No complex installations—it’s a standard resource pack.
3) Critical Info & Compatibility
- Visual Only: This is a purely aesthetic pack; it does not change gameplay mechanics or add any "cheats."
- Feedback Welcome: Since I’m learning, your feedback is incredibly valuable! Feel free to report bugs or share your thoughts.
