Most Overworld biomes are full of trees in Minecraft. This simple resource pack can make the leaves in Minecraft appear a lot better. It makes the leaves look a little bushier and natural by adding additional layers of leaves.

The developers of this texture pack also recommend that players enable the smart leaves option if they are on optifine. This will help increase the client PC's framerate.

Many high-quality shaders of Minecraft will add beautiful skies to it. However, these shaders are highly demanding and can lower the average framerate by a lot.

Dramatic Skys resource pack will make the clouds in the game appear visually appealing by making them a lot more realistic and detailed.

The best part is that this texture pack has a very small effect on the game's performance and smoothness.
