VanillaExtra Shaders

VanillaExtra

VanillaExtra is a lightweight Minecraft shaderpack made to enhance the vanilla experience without changing the look and feel of the original game.

It focuses on subtle visual improvements rather than heavy effects, keeping Minecraft recognizable while adding better lighting, shadows, water, and environmental movement.

Features

• Reflective Water — Adds subtle reflections and animated waves to water while keeping it close to the vanilla style.
• Cheap Shadows — Lightweight dynamic shadows that add depth to the world without requiring a high-end GPU.
• Waving Foliage — Grass, leaves, plants, and other vegetation gently move with the wind.
• Vanilla Visual Style — Vanilla textures and the overall Minecraft aesthetic are preserved.
• Lightweight — Designed to provide visual improvements while keeping performance in mind.
• Iris Support — Built for Minecraft with Iris and Sodium.

VanillaExtra is made for players who want Minecraft to look a little better without turning it into a completely different game.
