ZiNi Shader (1.21+)  Minecraft PE/ Bedrock Shader

ZiNi Shader (1.21) is a realistic shader pack and a lightweight option for Minecraft Bedrock Edition (this includes MCPE) that seeks to enhance the game’s appearance while still keeping a reasonable performance on weaker low to mid-range devices. ZiNi is compatible with versions like 1.20+ and 1.21.40+, and it works with the Render Dragon engine, which means that it is good for modern updates.

So, what exactly sets ZiNi Shader apart from other shader packs? Here are some highlights:

1. Dynamic Lighting

One of the most noticeable upgrades is the lighting. ZiNi Shader creates natural-looking sunlight and moonlight, giving the game a soft glow that feels immersive. Torches and lanterns emit warm light, making caves and builds atmospheric.

2. Beautiful Sky & Clouds

The sky is where ZiNi really shines. Expect detailed clouds that shift realistically across the horizon, sunsets that paint the world in golden tones, and nights filled with glowing stars.

3. Water Realism

Minecraft water has always been simple, but ZiNi Shader introduces reflective, wavy water surfaces that react to light and movement. Oceans, rivers, and lakes instantly feel more alive.

4. Improved Shadows

Every object in the game casts smooth, dynamic shadows that change with the sun’s position. Walking through forests or exploring villages feels more cinematic with this feature.

5. Performance-Friendly Design

Many shaders look great but require a beast of a PC. ZiNi Shader aims for balance—it delivers eye-catching visuals without being too resource-heavy, making it accessible for mid-range setups.
