Minecraft is not usually known for its impressive graphics and vibrant pallete of colours. Certainly the constructions I tried my hand at tended to be tall, singular pillars of… brownish greenish. This video shames me by showing off some of the most impressive structures that Minecraft can imitate, all set to a soaring soundtrack.
The mod showcased here is called Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders and it allows for a much more realistic look. It certainly shows the potential for Minecraft to reach beyond its current charming retro look.

I’m impressed that the Minecraft juggernaught is still rolling on.

Oh and they have put a soft filter over the video just like Days of Our Lives.

Video starts at 0:20 by the way.
