Waving Plants Shaders Mod brings Minecraft to life with dynamic plant animations that respond naturally to the environment. Plants sway at different speeds depending on the time of day, and during rainstorms, their movement becomes more intense just like in real life. From grass and wheat to sugar cane, mushrooms, and even lava, this mod adds motion to a wide range of blocks, enhancing immersion without overwhelming system performance.
Best of all, Waving Plants Shaders is fully compatible with popular shaderpacks like SEUS (Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders), Sildur’s Shaders, and Chocapic13’s Shaders. This makes it a perfect lightweight add-on for players seeking a touch of realism without switching to a full shader overhaul.
Supported Elements:
- Grass, wheat, leaves, flowers, vines
- Lilies, saplings, sugar cane, cocoa, pumpkins, melons
- Mushrooms, nether warts, water, and even lava
