The Werrus Shaders pack brings realistic skies, clouds, lights, and shadows into the world of Minecraft. Those lights and shadows are highly affected by the clouds in the sky, and those floating bits of fluff can cause streaks of darkness to roll across the land below. You don’t get shadows like this in vanilla Minecraft. Realistic lighting effects like these are why most players download and install a shader pack in the first place, but not all shader packs have lighting like Werrus Shaders. Released in mid-February of 2015, Werrus Shaders is compatible with the latest Minecraft versions.
Work is currently being done to bring Werrus Shaders to a state where it will be fully compatible with Minecraft, but that time has not come yet. Because it borrows a few pieces from Chocapic13’s Shaders, this pack is actually a nice way to see bits and parts of that other popular pack in action. The darkness in this shader pack is almost overwhelming when the sun goes down, so you may want to turn up your brightness setting if you plan on using it. This also makes it literally impossible to explore caves unless you bring along plenty of torches or other light sources to illuminate the way.
This isn’t like in vanilla Minecraft, where you can still see vague outlines and shapes of your surroundings, even in caves with no lights. As for the requirements of the Werrus Shaders pack, they tend to be pretty average and right in the middle. You can use this pack with integrated graphics, but things aren’t going to look very good. On the other hand, a high-end GPU can take the visuals to another level altogether, giving you a Minecraft world that looks so good you might just never want to turn the Werrus Shaders off again.
Because there are two different versions of the Werrus Shaders pack, players with a variety of different PCs should be able to use it without a hitch. You have the standard version, then the HFPS version, or the High FPS version, which dumbs down some of the effects to lessen the drag on FPS, which comes with turning on the shader mod. Other adjustments can be made to increase FPS, like cutting down the render distance and turning off reflections. Thankfully this shader pack doesn’t do much to change the appearance of water, so turning off reflections doesn’t really hurt anything.

Can you post a non-media fire download? it wont let me download it, mediafire just keeps spamming me with ads instead of letting me download.
For some reason my fences wave and the only way to turn it off is to disable grass movement, could this be fixed or is it inevitable?
YOUR COMPUTER CRASHED BU*LSH*T
Hmmmmm….. Whenever I start up the shaderpack, the game runs fine. BUT! THE ENTIRE SCREEN IS PITCH BLACK AND I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING.
Where do i download the shader pack?
We have the same problem…
Question: My computer is not the greatest, will this be a good shader to use that wont cause much lag on a low end PC? All the other ones I try lag like crazy, any help would be appreciate, as I feel like Im missing out on the entire PC experience missing just shaders :)
Butter
