Although it is more than eight years old, the Cybox Shaders Pack is still one of the best-looking shaders compatible with the latest Minecraft version. This compatibility rolls back a few versions, and the mod works just fine with Minecraft versions as old as 1.6.4, so if you’re stuck that far back, you can still get a decent shader pack in Cybox.
The shadow effects in Cybox Shaders Mod are some of the best you will see in any shader pack. Just to name one good example, the shadows in this mod actually account for the spaces between leaves when sunlight is shining through the foliage of trees. That is, you don’t just get a solid black shadow on a nearby surface, but you see the individual leaves and the spaces between them, where the light is able to make it all the way through. It’s hard to explain in words – you’ve really got to see Cybox in action to see how good it looks.
As far as requirements go, you’re going to need a decent GPU if you want to run Minecraft with the Cybox Shaders installed and enabled. This is because of the constant rendering and re-rendering of visuals as the sun moves through the sky, or moving leaves obstruct light, or clouds float on by and create shade for the world down below. This shader pack will significantly strain your PC and system resources, so you’ll have to have something in reserve if you want to use it. Integrated graphics aren’t going to do the trick here.
But if you’ve got the graphics card, memory, and processing power to play with the Cybox Shaders Pack turned on, then by all means, give it a go. It’s one of the best-looking shader packs for Minecraft, and even the newer animations and items from the combat update have been figured into the lighting and shadows. Cybox would probably get 8/10 or even 9/10 if it were being graded on that scale. Since it isn’t, though, just saying it’s a great, solid shader pack will have to do.
Important
- The shader has been discontinued and reborn as the Oceano shaders.
- It works fine on the latest version of Minecraft, so you can still use it.

I think your light sources are a little too bright, sure. They look pure white to me. And I’m using the Depth of Field version, by the way.
