Pocket Edition Minecraft, like most other editions, is able to use shaders to add to the depth and ambiance of the world. However, picking something that adds depth without weighing down a lighter device can sometimes be a bit difficult. All Bedrock shaders will work with PE, however, here are some of the best options out there.
Newb Shader
This simplistic and light shader offers some additional looks to the game, making them still feel somewhat vanilla. However, this shader does add extra depth and detail to the skybox, with the moon looking more cube-like rather than a flat square floating through the sky. While sticking very closely to the original this also does add a slightly golden hue to the world.
Fabric Light Shader
The Fabric Light Shader is a golden hue option with more focus on the sky than the Newb. Instead of a cube or square sun and moon, they are spherical here. The clouds have a more natural look compared to the boxy vanilla version, and sunrises/sunsets are accompanied by a lens flare. This shader also adds extra glow effects to lighting fixtures, making everything feel cozy at night.

Bun Shader
The Bun shader offers the look of rose-colored glasses with its glowing pink hue. This is a perfect soft shader that makes everything feel warm and bright without being overwhelming. Watching sunsets is the perfect way to enjoy this shader.
Zebra Shader
Zebra shader is another soft shading option. This is a little more intensive, but offers more glow effects to lights, is more saturated, and softens textures to a slightly smoother finish. Players can enjoy this shader to the fullest at night with small lighting fixtures.
Vivlo Ultimate Shader
The Vivlo Ultimate shader is slightly more involved than the first two, adding new cloud shapes, an aurora borealis, and extra saturation. Along with making more dynamic clouds and skies, this shader adds a crisp look with a blue hue and slightly sharper textures. Enjoying this shader thoroughly will require a night under the stars.
