Wisdom Shaders V3 (Horizon port) — shader pack
An unofficial port of bobcao3's Wisdom Shaders V3 to Horizon: soft shadows, rich atmosphere, AgX tonemapping, bloom and FXAA.
Wisdom Shaders V3 comes from the Java Edition shader scene, and this pack brings it to Horizon's own shader format. It's an unofficial port: bobcao3 wrote the original, and tomasmendes01 (iLoong in game) translated it from GLSL to WGSL. The license is Apache-2.0. Pick it if you want a semi-realistic look with soft shadows and a proper sky, and you have the GPU for it — the registry files it under "high".
What you get
- Wisdom's own sun, ambient and torch colours, with Oren-Nayar and GGX lighting.
- Jittered soft shadows, atmosphere, 2D clouds, fog and an AgX tonemap.
- Extra Horizon post passes: bloom, FXAA, and a haze that blends the far edge of loaded terrain into the sky.
- Mobs, items, chests and particles relit to match the pack's lighting ("Light mobs and chests", with a diagnostic view).
- Glowing blocks keep their colour at night instead of burning out to white, with optional "Glow bloom".
- Tunable "Night brightness" and "Rain fog" (0.5 by default, where 1 matches original Wisdom).
Compatibility and install
Shader pack, version 1.3.7, for Minecraft 26.3. In the launcher, go to the Mods page, open the Shader packs tab and install it; it lands in your shaderpacks folder. In game, choose it under Options > Horizon Settings > Shader Packs.
Limitations
Held torches only light the terrain if Horizon's Dynamic lights extra is turned on. Horizon's shader API is still version 0.1 and marked experimental, so a game update can break things. On weaker hardware, start with Wisdom Lite instead.
