Add waving leaves and plants
Partially fixed now. For plants anything other than leaves, it’s currently impossible because shaders can’t tell plants from grass blocks.

You should use animated textures to simulate waving plants. http://mcpedl.com/waving-plants/ this is a pack that does that. Try to make your own
Oh nice, that would be indeed possible but hmmm, that means my shader pack would end up overriding textures and therefore it won't play nice with non-vanilla texture packs. I think we shouldn't do it.
What about Seus pe shaders? They somehow made plants wave. Here is a video of the shaders. https://youtu.be/8AFgXjsxPwg The link to the pack is http://mcpedl.com/seus-shader/ However it only works on mcpe 1.2 ☹️
Yes. Some shaders including SEUS PE do it indeed. Let me explain how they are doing it, and why I don't want to do it:
Resource packs have a separate texture image file for each block, but when the game needs to render the terrain, it first combines all of those textures into one large tiled image for a performance reason. The game then passes that image to the terrain shader along with (x, y) coordinates pointing at the texture for the block currently being rendered. Though the shader doesn't know what block it's asked to render, it is still able to use the correct texture because it knows which part of the texture map is to be used.
Shaders like SEUS PE exploits this and try to detect blocks by comparing the texture coordinates with hard-coded values! This kinda works because a single release of the game always places the same texture at the same location. BUT. The ordering of textures is completely arbitrary and Mojang pays no attention to preserve the order between releases for obvious and truly understandable reasons, and whenever it changes shaders relying on those hard-coded coordinates immediately stop working.
Not only that, the size of the texture map changes depending on the resolution of textures. Let's say the texture of cobblestone is located at (0, 0)-(15, 15) in 16x16 textures like the vanilla one, and smooth stone is at (16, 16)-(31, 31). If you switch to a 32x32 resource pack, those coordinates of course change like (0, 0)-(31, 31) for cobblestone and (32, 32)-(63, 63) for smooth stone. This is why those shaders typically don't play nice with 32x32 or 64x64 textures. They detect blocks incorrectly and start waving wooden slabs!
Hey PHO can you add a player shadow and maybe could you make it were when it rains it get foggy
