If you’re like me, you love Minecraft’s blocky charm despite all of its drawbacks. Yes, the game isn’t the most beautiful game, but it certainly has its moments. What I look for in a good shader pack is something that can elevate the base game’s visuals without reducing any of that classic Minecraft charm. I think it’s safe to say that in this case with Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders 1.14.4, that mission is accomplished.

Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders 1.14.4 is the perfect example of great graphics without the sacrifice of art style. Simply walking around with this pack on feels like walking through a selection of super high end 3D renders of a Minecraft world. There’s no gaudy artistic license present here. And although creativity in shader packs is key, too many packs focus on superfluous extras that ultimately reduce the satisfaction you have actually playing the game.

I must say that the lighting in this pack is beautiful. It’s a much more ambient approach compared to some, and the lighting effects never stray into ratios where they’re far too bright for what is happening on screen. Everything is just covered in a gorgeous warm glow that really adds to the atmosphere of the whole game.

This simple attitude to the effects on display also passes on through to the pack’s settings as well. This isn’t that great and is easily the worst part about the pack. There’s only a handful of settings to play with here, so don’t expect any major customization changes once you’re in-game.

If you’re in search for a pack that is beautiful, runs well and keeps the spirit of Minecraft alive, Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders 1.14.4 needs to be at the top of your to-do list. With its tasteful effects and subtle post processing, this pack is perfect for the understated individual who still loves to look at beautiful visual effects.

How to install Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders 1.14.4

Although Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders 1.14.4 isn’t the biggest and baddest shader pack out there, we always recommend having a good GPU and graphics card to ensure that you don’t run into any trouble while running the pack. We also recommend OptiFine, which will let you tweak a ton of Minecraft’s settings beyond what’s normally available (you’ll also need it to run shader packs, so it’s a win-win).

First you need to install OptiFine. To do that, simply find the version that matches your version of Minecraft and download it. Open the file to begin the automatic installation. This will create an OptiFine profile in the Minecraft Launcher for you.

Now download Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders 1.14.4, which will download as a zip file.

Open up Minecraft with the new OptiFine profile through the Launcher. From the main menu go to options>video>shaders. From here, click “Shaders Folder” at the bottom left hand corner. A folder will then open automatically. Now just place the Magnificent Atmospheric Shaders zip in there and activate the shader pack in the shaders Minecraft settings menu.
