✨ Kage's Visuals Shaders [RenderDragon Deferred Lighting]
Transform your Minecraft Bedrock world with Kage's Visuals Shaders — a next-generation shader pack built specifically for Minecraft Bedrock's native RenderDragon Deferred Technical Preview / Vibrant Visuals engine.
Featuring dynamic soft shadows, volumetric god rays, fluid water with animated caustics, PBR materials, and a customizable color temperature slider ranging from cozy golden hour warmth to frosty sub-zero arctic chill!
🌟 Key Features
- ⛅ In-Game Warmth & Coolness Customization: Choose your aesthetic mood right from the resource pack gear icon — switch between 4 unique color temperature presets (5400K to 9200K).
- 🌑 Dynamic Soft Shadows (PCSS): Enjoy realistic, distance-scaled shadows with grounded contact-hardening at your feet and natural soft penumbrae in the distance.
- 🌅 Volumetric God Rays (Crepuscular Rays): Radiant shafts of sunlight and moonlight pierce through tree canopies, mountain gaps, and morning valley fog.
- 🌊 Fluid Water Physics & Caustics: Animated multi-octave water surface waves with crisp sun glints, realistic light absorption, and underwater dancing caustics.
- 💎 Physically Based Rendering (PBR): Blocks react realistically to light — metallic sheen on iron, gold, and copper, plus self-illuminated glowing emissive cores on torches, lanterns, and glowstone.
- 🎬 ACES Filmic Tonemapping: Hollywood-grade color science preserves rich dynamic range and prevents bright highlights from washing out into flat white.
- 🚫 Zero-Pop Horizon Fading: Distance-relative atmospheric fog smoothly blends distant terrain into the horizon, completely eliminating harsh shadow cascade cutoff lines.
