Proxima Shaders is a solid choice if you want your Minecraft world to look super realistic. It focuses on natural colors and lighting that feels like the real world instead of looking too flashy. You get features like soft dynamic shadows and global illumination, which basically makes the light bounce around and give everything way more depth. The water is another big highlight since it has accurate reflections and refractions, making every lake or ocean look much better when you are exploring.
Besides the lighting, the sky looks great with volumetric clouds and realistic scattering that changes the vibe throughout the day. A really cool thing is that it plays nice with popular mods like Distant Horizons and the Physics Mod. This means you can have those huge view distances and realistic block physics while still having top-tier graphics. It is a great way to make your game feel more immersive without losing that classic Minecraft feel.
