Noble Shaders

Noble is a highly-configurable shader pack that manages to achieve realism with a comparatively lower stress on system resources. While most shader packs achieve realism by brute-forcing high-end shader effects into your game, Noble does so in a much more optimized manner.

As seen in the image above, the pack introduces volumetric clouds. These are clouds that are rendered fully three-dimensional. This three dimensionality makes the clouds react to lighting in a complex manner, making the sky look as realistic as possible.

To appreciate the visual beauty introduced by this pack to its full limit, it is recommended to use the pack in combination with a high-quality realistic texture pack. The image below shows how your game will look when this pack is used in combination with the Patrix 32x resource pack.

Just like the clouds, the water effects introduced by this pack are very realistic as well. In the image below, you can see how well the water reflects the environment. The reflections of the riverside trees appear on the water surface in a realistically distorted manner, further contributing to the realism.

Let us now enter the Nether, where the atmosphere is covered in thick smoke at all times. When it comes to the lighting, the visibility is pretty much similar to that of the vanilla visuals, with the smoke not being much of an obstruction.

The pack completely overhauls the visuals in the End dimension. There is a thick purple fog that is unique only to the central island. This fog will make your dragon fight look and feel a lot more intense. The fog disappears as you move away from the central island. The End sky also now has a purple shade with stars in it.

You can also enable the volumetric fog effect in settings to enjoy mysterious, fantasy-style look and feel in deep forests and mountains. Fog settings can be accesed in the shader pack settings via: shaderpacks settings -> atmospherics -> air fog

Comparisons

Overworld

It does not need to be mentioned that the Overworld look a lot better with Noble installed. Below is a comparison between a sunrise in the vanilla game vs that with Noble installed.

The Nether

The Nether dimension already comes with an environmental fog effect. Noble further intensifies the fog and makes the fog effect much more random and intense, making Nether exploration feel more immersive.

The End

Like the Nether, the End too has an intense fog effect added to it. But this fog mainly appears to be revolving around the central End island and can partially blind you if you get into it. The End sky appears purple with stars, and all blocks appear to have a purple tint applied on them.
