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.

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. And I should say, this is a job well done. The graphical enhancements are something that I would term as clean. This is because the graphics are sharp on point without any unnecessary heavy effects. The "ultraplayable" in the shaderpack's name stands for the decent performace that this pack offers you. Take a look at the screenshots to see what you can expect from this pack.This pack is compatible with both Optifine and Iris shaders.Download links are given below.

Thet trees, the sky and the sun makes your game look realistic. There is also better gamma correction with this shaderpack. The bloom effect looks much more natural and smooth. This makes certain events like sunrise or sunset look extremely beautiful because of how the sunrays are processed.

Exposa Unique Shaders

Exposa Unique Shaders offers you incredible graphics with realistic clouds and other features that makes your game more immersive. Exposa can run on Linux, Apple, Intel, AMD and Nvidia. The pack is a bit heavy and might require a decent PC to run smoothly. Although, low end players need not be discouraged by this, you can give this pack a try and you might actually get good framerates as this pack is well optimised. I found the motion blur and depth of field effect absolutely amazing as they seemed to make the game look a lot more realistic. The quality of the sky and the clouds is worth mentioning too. They are very well detailed and helps make the game look a lot more realistic. Take a look at the screenshots to see what you can expect from this pack.Download links for this pack are given below.

CrankerMan's TME

TME Shaders defies the norm by keeping pace with Minecraft's evolving landscape. In a gaming environment where shader packs often struggle to keep up with the latest game versions, TME Shaders remains a rare exception. With regular updates, this shader pack seamlessly integrates with the latest Minecraft versions.As the name suggests, TME Shaders is all about "Too Much Effects". Imagine moving foliage dancing atop trees, shadows that dynamically follow the drifting clouds, and a plethora of other captivating effects. Clouds take on a new level of realism, shedding their blocky appearance for billowy, lifelike shapes. The play of shadows, bending and curving around corners, brings an added layer of depth to your Minecraft world, making it more visually engaging than ever. But TME Shaders doesn't stop at just effects; it breathes life into the very textures that make up Minecraft's world.

Life Nexus

The Life Nexus shaderpack emerges as a distinctive addition to the shaders landscape. Crafted by knewtonwako, this mod presents a captivating blend of influences from various shader packs, each contributing to its unique visual appeal.At its core, the Life Nexus Shaders mod stands as a testament to the power of inspiration. Knewtonwako drew upon the creativity of shader artists who came before, recognizing the brilliance of their work and incorporating it into this mod. Cybox, a popular shaderpack, served as a foundational source of inspiration, contributing to the base shaders that form the backbone of the Life Nexus experience.It's important to note that while the Life Nexus Shaders mod incorporates aspects from other shader packs, it is far from a mere copycat. Instead, it embraces borrowed content as a homage to the original creators, honoring their contributions while crafting something new and compelling.  Chocapic13's Shaders also find their way into the mod, a nod to the interconnected nature of the shader community. While such borrowing is common in the world of shaders, it plays a minor role in the grand symphony of the Life Nexus Shaders mod's composition. Please review the screenshots to understand the contents of this pack.

Pastel

Pastel Shaders are a low-medium (with Ultra option) end shader pack whic lets you customize a lot and change the tint colour. There are hundreds of settings which you can set including changing some of the lighting, changing the tint, changing performance, clouds, and so much more. If you are no too interested in customisation you may instead use a default profile. The profiles are between 4 performance options (Low Medium High and Ultra) and a colour (Pinkish, Blueish, Yellowish and others). You can still edit from the profiles and set your own colour by RGB values and other stuff. One setting that is really suggested is the cloud changing to Insanity to make clouds look better. There are also other cool options such as the eyes on the monsters  like spiders lighting up and Endermen lighting up, and beacon lighting up (even in inventory). It has multiple profiles depending on your hardware, but medium and lower ones by default do not even have water animation (different than many packs) but has lava lighting. The night time and snow looks beautiful. Pastel shaders is one of the best Shader packs and works well on different types of hardware (though still has errors on some but still works). The icon of the mod also has an Axolotl.
