Semi-realistic Minecraft shaders

Semi-realistic shaders push lighting toward real life while keeping frame rates in reach. The 78 packs here include Photon, MakeUp Ultra Fast, RenderPearl and E-LITE, and very few carry a High performance rating, so this is the style to try when realistic packs are too heavy for your PC. For the full realistic look, see the Realistic style.
