Cherry Cinematic Shader
by Baku_Studio

==================================================
INSTALLATION
==================================================

1. Import the .mcpack file into Minecraft Bedrock / Minecraft PE
   (double-click or open with Minecraft).

2. Open Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

3. Go to Settings → Global Resources (or activate the pack on a specific world).

4. Activate "Cherry Cinematic Shader".

5. IMPORTANT – Enable Vibrant Visuals:
   Settings → Video → Graphics Mode → check / enable "Vibrant Visuals".

6. Recommended settings:
   - Brightness: 50–65%
   - Render Distance: 8–16 chunks (higher looks better but costs performance)
   - Simulation Distance: 6–12
   - Fancy leaves / Beautiful skies: ON if available
   - Anti-aliasing: as high as your device allows

==================================================
SUPPORTED VERSIONS
==================================================

Minecraft Bedrock / Pocket Edition 1.21 through 1.26
(min_engine_version 1.21.120 – requires Vibrant Visuals support)

==================================================
WHAT THIS PACK DOES
==================================================

- Vibrant but natural color grading (rich greens, pink cherry foliage, clear blue sky)
- Soft directional sunlight and natural block shading
- Clear, transparent, reflective water with visible underwater terrain
- Subtle waves and caustics
- Golden cinematic sunsets with warm horizon and strong water reflections
- Atmospheric depth and soft haze
- Controlled highlight response (sun, water, bright surfaces)
- Improved ambient lighting for day and night
- PBR fallback values for better surface response

This pack is designed to stay recognizably Minecraft while matching the polished look of the provided reference images (cherry blossom daytime + golden sunset).

==================================================
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
==================================================

- Requires Vibrant Visuals graphics mode. Without it the pack has limited effect.
- True custom volumetric god rays are limited by the engine; sun glare and atmospheric scattering provide the closest equivalent.
- Floating cherry petals are not continuously forced by this resource pack alone (particle definition can be extended with a behavior pack if desired).
- Performance depends on device. On low-end mobile, lower render distance and disable extra effects if needed.
- Does not replace textures – it enhances lighting, atmosphere, water and color response of vanilla (and most texture packs).

==================================================
PERFORMANCE NOTES
==================================================

Optimized for practical play on mobile and mid-range devices.
Water wave octaves and caustics are moderate.
Color grading and lighting keyframes are lightweight.

If FPS drops:
- Reduce render distance
- Lower anti-aliasing
- Disable other heavy resource packs
