LemonyShaders

A lightweight shader pack that makes reflective surfaces actually feel
reflective. Water, metal, ice, glass, honey, and slime each get their own
screen-space reflections and material response, layered on a clean,
close-to-vanilla lighting base — no heavy performance cost from volumetrics
or path tracing.

Features

• Screen-space reflections on water, metal, ice, glass, honey, and slime — each with its own roughness and reflectivity for a distinct look
• PBR-style specular highlights on metal blocks (iron, gold, copper) using a Cook-Torrance BRDF
• Two water modes — flat textured normals, or fully procedural animated wave ripples (no texture needed)
• Swaying leaves with per-block randomized motion
• Day/night light color shift
• Soft shadows with PCF filtering

Good for: players who want realistic-looking water, glass, and metal
without switching to a full graphics overhaul — light on performance, easy
to run alongside resource packs.
