Bring back community made shaders (bedrock)

In the recent 1.16.200 update Mojang added the render dragon, a new rendering engine for Minecraft. It adds raytracing but removes the ability to make shaders for lower end devices.

Most of the Windows 10 bedrock players don't have access to a device with the power to do raytracing and can't just upgrade their computer. 

We need the ability to make shaders that can work on low to middle range devices. Minecraft's default graphics are quite bland and we should be able to do what we can to fix that. Also it would be nice if you could add some good documentation :)

    Yes, it's not fair for all the non rtx users that want to use shaders!

    1.16.200 pretty much made it impossible for people with low end devices to have similar experiences to people with ray tracing capable devices. The addition of RTX and the removal of shaders because of a new rendering engine is so fair just a disappointment for some players. Ever since 1.16.200 dropped, I had to convert my world to Java each time (which takes about 10 minutes) to see my world in shaders.

    Agreed! I dont think its fair that people that have low-end devices stuck with the normal minecraft shaders rtx graphic cards are way too expensive to buy on my country so i run 3td party shaders instead and they were working fine until this we need to have some sort of support without need of downgrading our minecraft versions! And mojang dont releasing the developer tools for render dragon doesnt help much.

    Yes, and "lower end devices" seems to be the majority of devices, even the powerful enough ones.

    RTX makes shaders seem exclusive.

    And RTX is pretty but I think its Useless. Its Minecraft not Dying Light oder Battlefield or Something wich should be realistic raytraced. Even the Beauty of the old Shaders like ESBE2G or something like that. RTX is even incomplete. There are no good rtx shaders or there also incomplete

    either Mojang will make community shader useable with render dragon, or have a choice that you can remove render dragon.

    I have rtx(4070ti) and it doesnt even look good since minecraft doesnt care about it. everything 5 chunks away looks blurry, Some of the light blocks dont work like candles mostly, the water reflection underwater is to obvious so it makes you confused if your even looking at the surface sometimes. Banners are completely broken and has been since it came out. so custom banners dont work and normal banners arent perfect either. for example if its a red banner the stick thats suppose to be wood colored is red colored and same with the other colors.

    You won't let me lie when I say that the game is more enjoyable with Shaders
