Realism Enhanced Shader v1.0 for Minecraft Bedrock 1.21/26.X

Realism Enhanced takes a different approach compared to other shaders for MC Bedrock 26, which apply the same settings to the entire world at once. This one renders each biome individually so the world no longer looks artificial. It's a VV pack, but due to it's set of features, it can be considered a shader.

How Realism Enhanced changes the atmosphere:

• Soft sunbeams have been added to dense forests.
• At night the taiga is illuminated by the aurora borealis and shooting stars.
• In hot biomes fog and lighting evoke the feeling of a sweltering landscape.
• Butterflies flutter in the sky above bodies of water.
• The sky features deep purple tones with new fog and glowing plants.

Lighting and 3D Details:

Instead of standard lighting the Realism Enhanced Shader uses over 100 shades for different light sources. Torches, blocks and lamps cast soft reflections and the entire shader relies on PBR textures that add texture and depth.
