About
Shiroi Visuals is a shader pack for Minecraft: Java Edition that brings the look of Bedrock's Vibrant Visuals to Java. It keeps vanilla textures and colors, and focuses on lighting, shadows, fog and atmosphere.

Features
- Blocky shadows: shadows follow the block grid instead of being smoothed out, which fits the vanilla art style better.
- Volumetric fog: fog that reacts to light and gives depth to forests, caves and open fields.
- Sun rays: light shafts that cut through trees, fog and clouds.
- Biome atmospheres: each biome has its own fog and sky tone, like Dappled Forest and Bamboo Taiga.
- Vibrant water: reworked water color and look, in the style of Vibrant Visuals.
- [Sunrise and sunset color grading]
- Three dimensions: Overworld, Nether and The End. (Working in compatibility with other dimensions)
Resource packs that keep vanilla colors work fine. The pack doesn't try to change the original look of the game.
