## PBR Support
Lyrae supports **LabPBR 1.3** standard. So make sure to use a resourcepack with **LabPBR** material support, here’s a [list of resourcepacks](https://shaderlabs.org/wiki/LabPBR_Supported_Packs#Resource_Packs) on shaderlabs site.

## Performance Tips
– I tried to write detailed descriptions for all settings, so you can hover over them in-game for more detailed performance tips.
– `Samples` is one setting with the most impact on the performance, because it increases the path complexity exponentially. Try to keep this at 1 if you want to enjoy real-time.
– You can try changing the `Resolution Scale` setting, lowering this from 100% will make the lighting quality lower.
– For most scenarios 3 bounces is enough. 2 bounces will not have indirect lighting, so GI will look less accurate.
– If you are in a *completely isolated* room where no sunlight is visible, you can try disabling NEE. Note that disabling NEE will break sun light.
– You generally shouldn’t mess with SVGF settings unless you know what you’re doing. If you are okay with noisy image you can disable spatial filtering.

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.

Lumina Shader – Event Horizon

Lumina Shaders is a complete visual overhaul for Minecraft, specifically engineered for users with high-performance hardware who refuse to compromise on realism.

Why Lumina?
Unlike basic edits, Lumina introduces custom-coded features that provide a distinct cinematic identity:

Procedural Atmospheric Flicker: A custom time-based light flickering effect for immersive environments.

Cinematic Grain System: A dynamic noise generator that enhances the filmic texture of the game.

Artistic Post-Processing: Unique desaturation and vignette curves designed for Lumina’s visual style.

Optimized Lighting: Fine-tuned shadows and global illumination for high-end setups.

Light-Shadow

# Light and Shadow

The name says it all: Light and Shadow focuses on the two elements that shape every Minecraft scene — light and darkness.

This shader improves lighting from blocks and the sky, while adding stronger shadow effects through shadow maps, global illumination, and ambient occlusion. The goal is to make Minecraft scenes feel deeper, more atmospheric, and more visually dynamic without losing the familiar look of the game.

## Features

– Enhanced block lighting
– Improved sky lighting
– Shadow-map based shadows
– Global illumination effects
– GI-based shadowing and occlusion
– Ambient occlusion
– LabPBR normal mapping
– LabPBR ambient occlusion support
– Emissive materials support
– Atmospheric fog
– Depth of field
– Cinematic post-processing effects

LIGHT Shaders

## LIGHT Shaders

As light as light, as beautiful as painting.

Make you have both high FPS and good image quality.

### Features

#### FPS in your hands.

Optimized based on Chocapic13’s Shaders,

Removed some unnecessary features,

Some bugs have also been fixed,

Let you have an excellent FPS.

#### Crisp and bright picture.

Removed some features of Chocapic13’s Shaders,

But it’s not one-size-fits-all like some shaders,

Instead, it retains excellent picture manifestation:
– Water reflections
– Water surface ripples
– Good shadows
– Outstanding performance in different weather
– Clouds that move with the wind
– TAA anti-aliasing (optional)
– and more…

And added a few features of it own.

#### Exclusive Atmosphere.

Gives you a unique atmosphere.

#### Excellent field of view brightness.

Doesn’t make you feel so dark in the Nether instead of you can’t see anything like the usual shaders.

### Requirements

– Iris Shaders, Oculus Shaders or OptiFine.
– OpenGL 1.2 support.
– An ordinary GPU. (even extremely below average)

Kappa Shader

[](https://youtu.be/QWAb4RLTiMk)

## **What is the Kappa Shader?**
A shaderpack that aims towards a realistic, but also authentic look. So it is not plainly using physically accurate vales and equations like many other packs do. Instead, while still using many accurate calculations, it is tweaked to reproduce what you could observe in nature, which usually goes beyond just having equations to describe most phenomenons.

## **What features does it offer?**
* Dynamic soft shadows
* Screen-space path-tracing (SSPT)
* Temporal Anti-Aliasing and Upscaling (TAAU)
* Procedural realistic skybox with multiple cloud layers
* Screen-space reflections and optional offscreen environment reflections (when enabling the reflection capture)
* Volumetric fog
* Random per-day and daytime driven weather parameters controlling clouds and fog
* labPBR resourcepack support
* Various optional lens effects such as depth of field, lens flares and vignette
and many, many more.

## **Any Requirements?**
* Optifine for 1.16 or newer/Iris 1.5.0 or newer
* GTX 1050/RX 560 or similar/better (has to support OpenGL 4.0, something faster than those is recommended though)
* Windows/Linux
* **DUE TO REPEATED ISSUE-REPORTS: Intel HD 5000 Graphics and older are NOT supported!**

[Hex’s Github Rep](https://github.com/HexBrasil/Hex-Vanilla-Shaders-Reworked/tree/main)

## What happened to Hexs Vanilla Shaders or Legacy Shaders?

They are still here, but now i am focusing on the new Rewrite one, fixed most of the bugs from older versions.

## What is HDFR?

It’s my Own shader! But now i rewrited some useful parts, and fixed most of the bugs.
Made for myself, but now for everyone! Now working with Iris 1.6.17+.

## Github Repository

I am needing ppl to help me to fix these things:

Gbuffers_Terrain / Composite: Every entity is transparent, and i dont know how to fix it.
Skylightleak: In night time, there is some lights coming out of nowhere.

If you can help me, send an request to the git rep.
