Shaders

It applies better lighting fixtures to improve the game’s visual aspect and also uses various other methods like new and improved textures. The mod is just a management tool for the hundreds of shader packs that the fans have made.
WAILA
This mod is unique; we’ve never seen anything like it! WAILA is an acronym which stands for What Am I Looking At. What it does is tells you information depending on whether you’re going vanilla (with a few utility mods hehe) or playing a mod-pack. The mod summaries the data in a small box which can be located at the top of the screen. If in vanilla, the mod can tell you information like an entity’s health, name, and appearance, but for blocks, it shows you things like the percentage until a block is broken and whether the block is harvestable or not.

It lists every item in the game and gives you information about it like how to craft an object for example.
