An aesthetic shader pack for Minecraft PE. This Shader focuses on improving the existing vanilla shader to look more aesthetic and realistic without ruining the existing gameplay or sacrificing much performance.

Only for Android and iOS MCPE (uses OpenGL ES)

MCBE Win10/Xbox Edition not supported (uses Renderdragon engine)

For MCPE 1.17.40

This shader might have bugs! Beware

Features and Changes:

Skip ahead if you're too lazy to read!

Lighting: Features a customisable natural soft lighting with many subtle details.
Clouds: The clouds are soft and adapt with rain. Some parameters can be customised from settings file.
Sky: A natural looking bright sky that gives the shader an aesthetic feel.
Water: A calm and relaxing water that's truly light-weight yet looks beautiful. It's colors adapt with biomes and can also be customised.
Underwater: Has a more bluish foggy view, with soft caustics.
Foliage wave: A subtle natural wave animation that applies to grass, leaves, vines and crops. You could also enable more plants like flowers from settings.
Lantern swing: Probably something you don't find in most shaders, a rigid swinging lantern.
Depth: A smooth foggy layer that blends across the horizon, with an added misty layer that gives more depth to your world. You can also tweak the mist as you want.
Rain weather: Something many users like about this shader, a very natural rain weather. The clouds become thicker, the foliage and lantern starts to wave harder, the ground begins to get wet and a cold wind blows onto you.
Entities: Entities have a soft ambient around them and also has other small details like wet reflection.
Color correction: Uses a very common tone mapping method, yet it still gives Newb Shader a distinct color tone. Not suiting your taste? You can tweak it's brightness, contrast, saturation, tint and even try other tone mappings from settings file!
Sun/Moon: A 3D looking vanilla moon? Not something you'd expect in most shaders, but you get it here. With a smooth shading, it has all the moon phases. The sun also looks stunningly smooth yet it preserves the vanilla vibe. It can even be rotated!
Glowy Ores: The ores glow in darkness making it easier to spot.
Auroras: The sky is enhanced with aurora lights that change overtime.
More?: Of course the changes don't stop here, there are more subtle details and many customisation options for you. Try to find it out!

Recommended settings:

• Beautiful sky - on
• Smooth shading - on
• Brightness - 100%

Customisation: 

• To access the shader's settings files you should use "External Storage" in MCPE settings.

    Warning : Making wrong changes in settings files will cause shader to fail!

• Load a world in MCPE.
• After the world has loaded, go to home screen and open a file explorer.
• Then navigate to:
   /games/com.mojang/resourcepacks/NewbShader/shaders/glsl/config_utilities
• Open the required file using a preferable text editor and make your changes.
• Save the file and open MCPE to see changes
• See How to Configure for more info
• Use a file manager/text editor like NMM File Manager/Text Edit (Android)

Drawbacks:

• Not even slightly realistic I think
• A bit too bright by default
• Rain transition is a bit long
• Slabs have weird shading

Compatibility:

• Device used for development and testing - Redmi 8A (2GB edition)
• Tested on MCPE 1.17.30, 1.17.40
• Devices with Mali or PowerVR GPU might have some issues.
• Add-ons which add new blocks/models might interfere some features of this shader.
• No huge performance drop as most features are optimised and implemented in the vertex shader, but there could be some lagspikes on some devices.

Bug report:

• Bugs can be reported in the comment section or sent to my Discord account/server. (Discord preferred)

Some device specific/unidentified bugs (If you experience any of these, dm me at discord):

• Static wave animation (Disable real world time in settings to fix this partially)
• No water shading/green water
• Weird fog color in water

If everything becomes invisible, try installing the shader manually using the zip file.
