Rethinking Voxels

Rethinking Voxels is a mind blowing shader pack that satisfies the needs of a Minecraft player that seeks realistic lightning in the game. With its vanilla-like clouds, sun, moon and water, the shaderpack introduces extremely beautiful atmospherics into the game. It brings in beautiful night sky, covered with soft vanilla-like clouds and a sky full of stars, amazing water composition with its vanilla texture and some cozy ambient lightning effects.Among the unique features, the realistic lightning is the most engaging characteristic of the shaderpack. Unlike vanilla lightning, you will now see light propagating in the direction it is casted at, which will now act mostly like a flashlight, lightning only those areas it is pointed at. Apart from that, the shaderpack has a lot to offer.

Sunflawer Shaders

The visuals that this pack offers is very much different from other shaderpacks that you might have used. Sunflawer Shaders offers visuals that makes Minecraft look like a post apocalyptic world. This pack is actually a modified version of the BSL shaders by Capt Tatsu. The clouds, the colours, the water, the reflections, the shadows, etc are all very different from BSL. Also, it's worth mentioning that the pack is not very resource intensive. So if you have a low end PC, you can give this pack a try and you might actually be surprised to see that a pack with such high quality visuals gives you decent framerates. I personally had fun playing around with this pack along with a few mods that added a zombie apocalypse into the game.

DrDestens MCShaders comes with reflective water, ambient occlusions, realistic depth of field, motion blur, anti-aliasing and many other features. Most shaderpacks require a PC with decent specs to run well. But this pack will give you good framerates even on a low end PC. And it does so by adding many features that will give you a smooth experience, while also removing some features like shadows, that are resource intensive. The lack of shadows does not affect the beauty of this shaderpack at all.Take a look at the screenshots below to see what you can expect from this packDownload links for this pack are given below.

Prismarine

Prismarine is a shaderpack that absolutely blew my mind. It is Capt Tatsu's edit of the BSL shaderpack. Prismarine contains all the features of BSL and also contains new colours and visuals. The volumetric lighting, volumetric fog, distance blur, nether heatwave and smoke make up for a very realistic looking game. The pack offers a freedom of customization - almost everything can be directly modified in game. The pack will run well on mid-end to high-end PC's. Furthermore, there's per-biome fog, weather and sky. Prismarine will work with both Iris shaders and Optifine.Download links are given below.

Cardcraft's Ultraplayable

Cardcraft's Ultraplayable is an edit of the BSL shaders. The creator of this pack, Cardcraftoftwitch, edited the BSL shaders to make it give decent graphics on low end systems with good performance.

Inception is not like other shaderpacks that you may have come across. While most shaderpacks try to make the game more visually enhanced with effects like depth of of field, motion blur, shadows, etc, Inception adds something unique.

Depth Of Field

Depth Of Field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp. This is an effect that many shderpacks like BSL and Complementary provides. But most people do not have a system that is powerful enough to run these shaders while giving good framerates. So here is a shaderpack that can give you only the depth of field effect, so that you can enjoy taking some focused screenshots and visuals. This pack makes it so that the camera will focus on whatever in-game body your cross hair is pointed to. Everything else will fall off into a gradual blur, which makes the body you are pointing at, more focused. This pack does not take up much of your system resources and will give you good framerates.Download links for this pack are given below.

Ominous

The Ominous shader pack isn't like any other shaderpack out there. It's unique for a variety of reasons.
