Wow, I just discovered the shader pack for minecraft. Awesome mod, I take it Optifine does the opposite in terms of graphics. Very cool.
Those minecraft shaders are amazing, when you put light sources behind a buildings stained-glass windows, it makes for some pretty INSANE eye-candy, I made a giant tower with massive stained glass windows doing this and the visuals are night were insane, it looked sublime and very atmospheric.
Although to make it just as pretty in the inside, you have to make the windows 3 tiles from the outside to the inside so you can put a beacon or a block with a torch at the center. This is so you can get the 'glowing windows' effects from the inside as well... It's massively time consuming. I almost finished a tower like this almost two weeks ago but for unknown reason my world was wiped when I relogged into it. It's a shame considering how many hours I put into that thing!
But yea, minecraft shaders are amazing, cannot play it without it.
