About

Axolotls Shaders — Vibrant & Reimagined A lightweight, atmospheric shader pack designed to enhance the default Minecraft look without sacrificing performance. This shader combines the punchy, vibrant colors of Bedrock Edition with advanced Java-side lighting techniques.

✨ Key Features Cinematic Lighting: Utilizing ACES Tonemapping for rich, balanced colors that avoid "crushed blacks" or overblown highlights.

Soft Shadows: Optimized PCF shadows with adaptive bias to eliminate "shadow acne" and provide smooth depth.

Vibrant Atmosphere: A custom fog system that reacts to the time of day, creating beautiful golden hours and deep, moody nights.

Living World: Subtle, procedural wind animations for leaves, grass, and crops.

Correct Gamma Workflow: Full sRGB-to-Linear conversion ensures that torchlight and sunlight mix realistically.

🛠️ Compatibility Loaders: Iris (Recommended) or OptiFine.

Versions: Minecraft 1.20.x, 1.21.x, and above.

Hardware: Designed to run well on both dedicated GPUs and modern integrated graphics.
