Briefly, we should mention that the world will plunge into darkness in Minecraft thanks to this pack. Even in the daytime, you will feel that you are in the rain or at midnight.

Shader pack Insanity Shader review

We are confident that you should view the game world without any changes to the shader settings first, or install these shaders and immediately start your game. You should change some settings later so you can see how the world will change. In fact, this shader pack adds realism to the game besides horror themes. If you set some texture packs, you can create a great and beautiful combination. If you look closely at the grass, you will certainly find its smooth wiggles. Despite the fact that they are not too visible, you can't quite see them in case you look at the grass. What’s more, now, all the plants are swinging because of the wind. But, these swings are very slow and smooth. The leaves of different trees have similar changes. It looks very beautiful and realistic, for which we want to thank the author of this shader. Although this shader pack was created for horror style, its creator tried to please all users.

Weather

On an ordinary sunny day, you can see that the world is getting darker. We advise you to pay your attention to the sky so that you can notice that the clouds have disappeared there and the sun is merging with the sky, and now you will hardly see it as it has become much dimmer. But in the evening, the sun begins to shine brighter against the sky. Dark lines have appeared on the horizon, but if you get higher, you will surely notice that these dark lines form a circle. So the horizon is not spherical, but square now. If you look at objects that are at a great distance and on the horizon, you will surely see the darkness and the fog as if a storm were coming at you. At night, the world will change in a radical way. So all you can see is the moon in the sky, which is very different. The night sky will be very dark and completely starless. We must say that such an atmosphere causes a feeling of horror indeed. If you find yourself in a forest, they will give you a whole bunch of challenges, in the process of which you will finally get out of that forest. Before you is a small space that you can see, but after that everything is hazy and dark. In the distance, you can only see the spider’s eyes, which glow brightly in the dark thanks to these shaders. Enderman has the same working principle and its purple eyes shine bright at night.

Lighting

Earlier, you may have noticed that the lighting units do not glow during the day. But if you install these shaders, you will notice many changes. Now, the blocks will glow even in the daytime. After you set one block on this place, you will immediately notice the lighting, although it is not bright. The illumination extends only to a few blocks forward. It will smoothly decline depending on the range of the particular block. The first block is very bright, the second one is less bright, the third one has a minimum of lighting. But the block itself will be very bright, despite the daytime. Of course, at night lighting will play a very important role, because it is a necessary and vital factor. The lighting will become even brighter at night because there is only darkness around. In this shader, there is one feature by which you can save torches. If you hold a lantern or a torch in your hand, lights will appear around you too. You don’t have to put torches on the walls on your way through this feature. If you didn’t know that, then vanilla Minecraft doesn't support this function without special addons.

We invite you to compare the night time without shaders and with these ones so you can see how shaders Insanity changes the game world of Minecraft. These screenshots will help you understand that with shaders a lot of fog, especially at long distances. In addition, there is a mysterious darkness in the sky, so you can expect any result of your travels around the world. If you suddenly encounter a creeper, this creature will explode. The fact is that visibility is very small out there. This is the reason why these shaders make this game very interesting. Now, you’ll have to travel the world with extreme caution. We advise you to definitely use a torch or a lantern in your hand so that you can have at least minimal visibility of space.

Rainy weather and water modification

In rainy weather, the world is covered by darkness, but yet it's not as dark as at night. The rain will become more visible to gamers, and the number of drops will greatly increase, in addition, they drip faster. It’s going to take a little while for the rain to start, and you might find a wet layer on the blocks that looks very realistic. In addition, even drops are noticeable that fall on these puddles. During the rain, blocks become smooth, and it looks very interesting as you should definitely walk during the rain. There are also some drawbacks that you may notice. Once on some snow mountain, you will surely find that the snow is covered with water, and these drops are visible. It’s quite odd because it snows, not rain. However, it is uncritical, but if you are picky about the details, then you should know about it in advance.

We would like to draw your attention to water as these shaders make this object just magnificent. The water has become more transparent and has a more natural appearance now. You will probably find volumetric waves on the water, which are very distinct, and it looks very beautiful. These waves will move very slowly and smoothly. The underwater world is not that interesting as you will hardly see anything under due to the darkness. Earlier, you might have noticed that once you drank the night vision potion, visibility underwater improves instantly, and the world looks very beautiful. However, these shaders neutralize this effect, so you will clearly see that even without a special potion. You can decide this is a small minus that can sometimes interfere with your playthrough if you start playing with these shaders regularly. Whatever, game locations will become a little brighter with night vision mode, so this is a small antidote to darkness.

The Nether and Enderworld

The Nether have few changes. This dimension has become darker too, and it also has much more mist now. Lava has not changed much from water. We would not like to linger in this world and therefore, we would like to go to Ender World, which has more different unique changes. Ender World has become darker too, so you may find more pink shades there, because enderman have glowing eyes. You may notice a huge luminous object in the sky that stands out very strongly against the background of the sky.

Settings

Now, we would like to tell you about these shader settings that you can change without difficulty. This shader pack has four basic settings that you can change at any time. If you change the “Best Performance” settings, you will immediately notice both low shade and poor lighting quality. Moreover, with such settings, reflection from water is absent at all. If you will turn on“Performance” settings, you will get better lighting quality and shadow with low resolution. There are so called “Balanced” settings that make all items and structures more balanced. “Quality” are the best settings in our opinion. You can also adjust other settings too. For example, you can increase or decrease the brightness of picture, as well as change colors in different realms.
