Derivative Shaders

Thick Fog

Depth of field effect

The Derivative Shaders are a fantastic alternative for anyone looking to make their Minecraft more realistic and atmospheric without putting too much strain on their PC! Currently, the shader focuses on key aspects like the movement of leaves and grass in the wind, realistic shadows, and its standout feature—thick, immersive fog. It also includes beautifully detailed effects like Depth of Field and Distance Bloom, which add a touch of realism and depth to your world. 

Nighttime

The shaders also enhance nighttime in Minecraft, with natural colors and a perfect blend of the aforementioned effects. Combined with proper color correction, it adds a unique beauty to your world that’s hard to ignore. 

Rain

Water ripple effect

One of the shader’s main highlights is its detailed rain effects, specifically the water ripple effect from raindrops on water surfaces and puddles. Paired with the beautiful fog and subtle haze, it creates an absolutely stunning atmosphere.

The Nether

The end

The shader also improves the Nether and the End in your Minecraft world. The Nether gets an atmospheric red haze, while the End gains voluminous, thick, and cloudy fog that adds a whole new level of immersion.

With this shader, your Minecraft will transform significantly! And the best part? It’s lightweight and doesn’t require a high-end PC, so it’s guaranteed to run smoothly even on less powerful systems.
