Overview
Bright Aesthetic Shaderpack is designed to enhance brightness throughout Minecraft while preserving the original visual style of the game. This pack increases visibility in dark environments, such as caves, the Nether, and underwater areas, allowing players to see clearly no matter where they are. Despite the increased brightness, the shaderpack maintains subtle differences in lighting to ensure the game’s unique aesthetic remains intact.
How to Enable the Resource Pack
To start using the shaderpack, simply place the .zip file into your resourcepack directory and enable it in the Minecraft settings.
- Sodium or Iris Users: Make sure you have the Sodium Core Shader Support mod installed, as this pack relies on it for full compatibility.
- Compatibility Note: This shaderpack does not work with Optifine.
Key Features
- Enhanced Brightness: The whole world appears brighter, improving visibility everywhere in the game – from deep caves to the deepest oceans and even the Nether dimension.
- Preserved Aesthetics: Lighting remains nuanced to keep the Minecraft atmosphere familiar. For example:
- Fog still exists but is rendered farther from the player.
- Light sources such as torches and glowstone still emit light naturally.
- Shadows from blocks remain present, though they appear less intense.
- Sodium Support: The shaderpack is compatible with the Sodium mod when combined with the required support mod.
Except for special cases, Minecraft Shaders are generally backward compatible, but not forward compatible.
