A highly customized, Ghibli-inspired Minecraft shaderpack designed to bring the warm, illustrative, and magical aesthetic of classic anime into your Minecraft world.
Created by HRNT | Version: v1.0.2
Built upon the solid architectural foundation of BSL Shaders, Funilla diverges into a completely different artistic direction. Rather than aiming for ultra-realistic graphics, Funilla embraces a stylized, hand-drawn illustration aesthetic heavily inspired by Studio Ghibli films.
It achieves this by combining vibrant colors, strong warm/cool contrast, cel-shading outlines, and a completely bespoke volumetric cloud system that interacts flawlessly with the world's rippling water.
Say goodbye to standard blocky or overly-realistic wispy clouds. Funilla introduces a bespoke cloud rendering system tailored for an anime look:
- Fluffy & Volumetric: The clouds feature flat, stylized bases with soft, pillowy, and thick tops.
- Perfect Reflections: Unlike vanilla or standard shader clouds, Funilla's custom clouds cast stunning, physically accurate reflections on the rippling water surfaces.
- Sun/Moon Occlusion: Specular highlights from the sun smoothly disappear on the water when the sun is occluded by these thick clouds.
- Aesthetic Fusion: Retains the charm of Minecraft's vanilla water texture but enhances it with dynamic physical ripples.
- Anime Coloring: Features bright cerulean blue tones (
R: 32, G: 120, B: 255) and perfect transparency, completely removing the dark, murky green look of swamps or vanilla oceans. - Crystal Clear Diving: Optimized underwater fog (
Density: 0.50) ensures maximum visibility and breathtaking views while exploring coral reefs.
- Fully configurable black and colored outlines give every block, entity, and hand-held item a hand-drawn, illustrated look.
- Dedicated Cel-Shading Menu: Adjust both the Thickness (line weight/sensitivity) and Darkness of your outlines directly in the Post-Processing settings to suit your artistic preference.
- Warm & Cool Contrast: Carefully tuned lighting colors create strong temperature contrast. Expect breathtaking pinkish-orange sunsets and deep, cool indigo-blue shadows in the shade.
- Soft Horizons (Far Fog): Utilizes spherical far-fog technology in the Overworld to smoothly blend sharp chunk borders into the sky, creating the illusion of an endless, soft, and painted landscape.
Funilla comes with a completely overhauled GUI specifically tailored to its features. Menus have been reorganized to prioritize what matters: Clouds and Water have their own dedicated, easy-to-access tabs under Atmosphere.
