Released in 2009, Minecraft has come a long way since it was purchased and stewarded by Microsoft in 2014. Despite all the downloadable content and expansions, one area hasn’t received that much attention: the graphics. To remedy this, the modding community has created shaders that change the game’s picture quality and resolution.
Minecraft is more than just a game. It’s a fully-embraced learning tool that educators have credited for an increase in problem-solving skills among students who use it. Part of the appeal is the endless supply of Minecraft mods, ways to change everything from your character's hair colour to the world around you.
