The PluderPixel’s Shaders is a light Shader pack designed for realism and provides many Shader features that will make your Minecraft a little more realistic. The Shader was fully overwritten and now features more optimized coding than ever before.

Advanced Shader effects

PlunderPixel’s Shader pack is not shy about providing wonderful effects and features and uses all the advanced Shader effects it could without sacrificing performance. Because of the quality of the pack, it is considered on par with many popular Shader Packs like SEUS.

Realistic Sky

One of the most beautiful features of this Shader pack is its ultra-realistic skybox and textures. On top of that, it also features beautiful lighting and bloom effects that make the day and the night absolutely gorgeous.

Dynamic Lights

A key feature that makes the Shader pack beautiful is its wonderful dynamic lighting effect and Shadows.

Jaw-Dropping Water

The physics-based water looks absolutely gorgeous with the addition of reflection and refraction effects. With this pack installed, water will reflect the sky and the landscape while refracting light sources. Shiny objects and blocks will also have similar effects on them!

Waving Foliage and Flora

As with most Shader packs, this wonderful pack also features waving grass, flowers, leaves, and more for a more dynamic and immersive world.

Realistic Vibe

The wonderful PlunderPixel’s Shader mod aims to provide quality realism in the game, and it is delivered greatly. By installing this pack, your Minecraft world will become much more realistic than you started, and it won’t look the same.

The PluderPixel’s Shader pack is absolutely beautiful. Graphics-wise, it makes the game a lot more realistic and immersive. The pack’s highlights are the excellent reflective and refractive water, gorgeous looking sky, and immersive Shadows and lighting effects. Although the pack requires a lot of resources and might drop your framerate, it is still worth using. If you have a high-end PC with beast specs, then it is more reason to use this beautiful pack.

This is a gorgeous shader pack! I’m trying to film something where there’s an open window with natural light coming through. All of my other shaders made the side of the room where there’s no window completely black, and I was really trying to find a shader that didn’t. Your shader didn’t and I love it! It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love how it looks, it’s really pretty and nice. Thanks for helping me and many others out!

The foliage doesnt wave for me, which is such a shame. It will only wave when i use shaders mod 1.7.10. But its still great, however this should be updated to the newest version which is 1.13

Hello! I’m loving everything about this shader pack (the ‘wave’ effect is my favorite part <3) but I am running into two issues that I haven't been able to fix myself:

1.) I can hear rain, and see the particle effects of it hitting the ground, but I can't see any rain particles.

2.) This is likely just my computer, but with GODRAYS on, the shadows update kinda… chunkily, and it's fairly distracting. Is there a fix in the options for this or do I just need to order a better computer part?
