Lux V1
# Lux V1
Lux is a high fidelity Minecraft Java Edition shader pack based on [Capt Tatsu’s BSL Shaders](https://bitslablab.com “Takes you to the BSL Website”).
By default, Lux is meant for mid- to high-end users, however offers a wide range of settings to make the shader truly yours.
While trying to be highly compatible across different hardware & software specification, aesthetically pleasing and gameplay-friendly, Lux also incorporates experimental and rarely-seen features.
It is getting updated frequently and still new to the game, but is accordingly using more modern tech to produce good looking visuals making it a shader pack definitely not to miss out on.

Lunacy Shaders
# A shader that takes on the view of a “lunatic” person.
## **Features**
– All entites are ‘quantized’ and seem to be at different positions at all time unless they are directly observed, via spyglass or a zoom mod. (Hitboxes ruins this effect)
– Massive chromatic abbaration (I just love applying this everywhere)
– Simple “toon shader” with outlines, and posterization.
– Maybe more small effects.
This shader is just me trying to add effects that I really like, but couldn’t find a good place to add them to. So yes this shader will get more updates to come when I find a good effect that doesn’t have a good place to live. Not that anyone will actually use this… Ig this can be a place people come to find cool effects they could add for their own shaders.
Lumora Shader
Lumora is a cinematic Minecraft shader pack made to improve the game’s atmosphere while keeping the classic Minecraft feeling. It adds realistic lighting, improved clouds, reflective surfaces, glowing portals, detailed block effects, and a custom End sky for a more immersive experience.
The shader focuses on making worlds feel more alive with smoother visuals, better brightness balance, enhanced water, cleaner skies, and stronger dimension atmosphere. The Nether feels warmer and more intense, while the End has a unique space-like style with a darker and more cinematic look.
Lumora is designed for players who want Minecraft to look more beautiful, modern, and atmospheric without completely changing the original style of the game.

Lumeau
The shader add simple shadow, wave and lighing
## Addition
– The shadow is hard shadow this mean that It isn’t blur
– Waves is really really simple for the moment but nice to have
– Lighing is done with phong model so simple sun/moon reflection and light is globally directional to the sun/moon apart for block lighing that is calculated differently
– Sunset and Sunrise color work just for terrain, the sky is not affected yet
## Utility
The shader has been design to run for old hardware with simple effect
Work also with modern hardware but this is not the goal of the project
## Things to know
To run the shader you have to installed a mod to run the shader
> Iris or Optifine will be perfectly fine, I intend to make it run without problem on both of them

—
Lucidus is an ultra-lightweight shader optimized for maximum performance.
This shader achieved 120 FPS on Iris when 180 FPS without shaders.
Settings is non-existance due to a “less is more” approach.
Key features include:
* **Dynamic Lighting:** Smooth, real-time handheld light sources.
* **Warm Atmosphere:** A subtle, cozy tint for a better visual vibe.

Simple, fast, and ready to play.
+) I recommand to use “Smooth Light Effect”.
LSD Sshader
LSD Shader v1.3 is a Minecraft Java shader inspired by the visual phenomena commonly associated with LSD experiences, creating an intense, psychedelic, and surreal atmosphere in-game. Instead of preserving the classic “vanilla” look, it transforms the world into a pulsing, colorful vision filled with dynamic distortions and fluid color transitions.
**Features:**
– Psychedelic color shifting and dynamic saturation changes.
– Waving, “breathing” landscapes that feel alive.
– Intense neon lighting with a surreal glow.
– Hallucinatory-style screen distortions.
– Dynamic lighting effects that enhance motion and depth.
– Configurable intensity settings for a customizable experience.
This shader is purely visual and does not alter gameplay mechanics — its goal is to deliver a bold, trippy experience for players who want something completely different from the standard Minecraft aesthetic.
