10 best Minecraft shaders

A huge part of Minecraft’s charm is its low fidelity graphics. Not only does it allow this open-world sandbox game to run on low-end hardware, but it brings a charm that was unique when the game first launched, and even now it still does the voxel style the best. That said, there is something that can make looking at grand creations more enjoyable, and that’s realistic lighting.

The Minecraft RTX pack showed the world just how mind-blowing the game can look with the best graphical technology, but not everyone has the hardware to support it. Minecraft is one of the best games to play on PC, but if yours isn’t up to the task, don’t despair, you can use shaders to make Minecraft look pretty. These overhaul the game’s lighting engine, but in a far less resource-intensive way than RTX. What’s more, the creators of shader packs take different approaches, and all light the world in uniquely beautiful ways.
