This Minecraft PE shader also works with illumination in a way that is visually appealing to the player.

The evening radiates a warm feeling under the horizon's glow, and the Nether resembles the sparkle of a ruby. During the day in the overworld, the water sparkles like diamonds. It's a beautiful shader and should be used to its full potential.

#2 - IVG Shader (v0.5) by PXD

This shader was made with the intent to improve vanilla graphics in Minecraft. It has a more neutral, rusty tone to its palette, which makes it wonderfully niche.

The water and leaves have an interesting texture and color, building a certain mood during playtime.

#1 - VExZE Shaders V2 by Hyrazero

This shader is a product of Hyrazero and KK3310 collaborating. Both are experienced with Minecraft shaders and, therefore, have produced another beautiful addition.

The graphics are immaculate and follow the environment's mood, a bonus for the players.

This shader runs smoothly, with little to no lag, meaning that players can comfortably enjoy Minecraft in both survival and creative modes free of worry.
