BSL shaders are best known for their best balance between visual and performance nature. They offer great lighting and shadow details, soft bloom, and vibrant color grading. Many gamers prefer its look more than anything else. The lightweight nature of this shader is a perfect pairing for gamers looking to build big bases or explore the massive open world in creative mode. BSL also provides accurate volumetric cloud and fog effects without tanking performance. Below are the maxed-out settings at 4K, which cater to a high-refresh-rate modded Minecraft experience.
