When you want to improve your Minecraft experience, one of the best ways to do it is by using visual packs to enhance the appearance of your game. Minecraft shaders are particularly popular because they can help improve the looks of your current run. On its GitHub page, it was stated that it was a combination of the shading styles of the canceled Super Duper Graphics Pack and the current Minecraft Dungeons. Notably, it is a shader pack compatible with Minecraft Java Optifine.
While still in beta, Super Duper Vanilla Shaders 1.18.1, 1.18 → 1.17, developed by Eldeston and handled by FlameRender Studios, is working to be one of the top shader packs in the future. While its first beta release was on February 18, 2021, its latest pre-release version was published on October 08, 2021. If you follow their version releases, you will see the significant improvement and adjustments done with each release. With Super Duper Vanilla Shaders 1.18, you will notice at once that it presents extremely crisp images and rendering, mainly when you use the latest build. It has significant visual improvement, especially if you consider vanilla versions without using packs. The shadows received the best improvement because it provides realistic shadow lighting. In particular, its best visuals are when you near water surfaces or in forest areas. If your computer allows it to work in high performance, you can also notice its sunset and night views are incredibly detailed.
With the current build, you can expect various lighting improvements for your Minecraft game. Sky colors became more detailed, and weather visuals have also been improved. When you focus on an area or move your screen, shadows also receive auto-exposure so that they do not look static. There is also better gamma correction with this shader pack. The bloom renders for this pack are also smooth and look natural. Because of this, areas and events with specific ambiances like during sunrise or sunset appear more detailed. Both water and underwater visuals are also improved. Water rendering is smooth, and the shadows for aquatic materials allow them to look like they are waving.
Since there are still future developments, Super Duper Vanilla Shaders can improve and be one of the top leagues for Minecraft shaders. There is something to note, though. AMD users, in particular, might encounter some issues and performance scales depending on your computer specifications.
