KUDA – Realistic Lighting Shaders For Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.1

The KUDA 1.20.4-1.19.4 are top 1 shaders for realistic lighting in Minecraft. The author spent a lot of time to improve the light sources in the game, for each light source there is a custom algorithm radiation of rays, such as Sun radiation is very powerful, for a Glowstone less rays, etc.

In sum, it looks very nice and realistic. At lunchtime you can observe very bright bleaching of lighting from blocks and very clear edges of shadows, but at night the shadows will become a little square and not clear due to the low concentration of rays.
