BSL Shaders vs VanillAA

BSL Shaders is a shaderpack for Minecraft: Java Edition, with controls for changing lighting colors, sky and water appearance, and post-processing. Its listed effects include realtime shadows, volumetric light, ambient occlusion, bloom, customizable clouds and water, and built-in anti-aliasing. Players can also enable depth of field, motion blur, specular and normal mapping, celshading, and world curvature. Advanced Materials lets compatible resource packs use specular, normal, and parallax mapping. The pack is designed for low- to mid-range hardware, and each version’s ZIP contains multiple quality profiles that can be changed in Shader Options. The latest version is described as running on Minecraft 1.8.9 through versions supported by OptiFine or Iris, though older versions may have missing features or issues that cannot be fixed. Minecraft 1.7.10 requires Angelica for BSL Shaders v8.4 and later. The free plan costs nothing. Gold Edition, offered through Patreon, provides supporters early access.
