BDS - Better Default Shaders is a minimalist shader pack specifically designed for creating visual content while preserving Minecraft's vanilla style. The main goal of this shader is to provide content creators with high-quality, realistic shadows directly in the game, without the need for additional processing in graphic editors.
Even before cropping and subsequent processing, authors get perfectly matching shadows that blend naturally with the overall graphics at the desired angle. All of this is available thanks to the ability to adjust the sun direction, shadow transparency, and overall lighting intensity.
The shader remains lightweight, ensuring stable performance even on low-power systems.
