About the Shaderpack
This shaderpack does exactly what its name suggests - it doesn't completely overhaul the game's style but maintains the classic vanilla look while adding shadows, reflections, TAA anti-aliasing, and even godrays effects. It's optimized to run on any computer and offers extensive customization options, allowing every player to find the perfect balance between visual quality and performance.
Inside the game's shader settings, there are two main profiles available: "Fast" and "Fancy". The "Fast" profile provides significantly better performance, so if FPS is important to you - choose this option!
