    About

    Realistic Vibes is a lightweight shaderpack for Iris that adds BSL-inspired visual effects to vanilla Minecraft. Its water uses layered waves and moving bump-mapped normals for depth, angled sky reflections, a shifting sun glint, and subtle sparkles along wave crests. Sunlight changes from warm orange at sunrise and sunset to soft gold-white around noon, while shafts of light pass through gaps in trees, cliffs, and buildings when the sun is visible. At night, drifting patches of bluish fog gather more densely near the ground, and vanilla leaves sway gently in the wind. The shaderpack uses a relatively light rendering approach without shadow maps or a heavy post-processing pipeline, helping it run on modest hardware.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Changes how the game looks: 5 shader programs, the dimensions are not stated in the pack. Draws its own water and sky.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a shader cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 18 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A shader has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
