## 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.

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.

## Bug Reports

If you encounter any issues, please use the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/TechDevOnGitHub/Lux-Shader/issues).

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.

E-LITE shaders (formerly known as LITE) is a modification of [MakeUp – Ultra Fast](https://modrinth.com/shader/makeup-ultra-fast-shaders) that aims to make it fancier while maintaining great performance. It adds a lot of customisation as well as a Portuguese translation, and is ideal for use on most PCs, with highly adaptable graphics profiles.

**_DO NOT use OptiFine preview versions, they are very buggy._**

# TESTED ON:

– Minecraft 1.12.2 – 26.1.x
– NVIDIA, AMD and Intel, NO warranty that it works on all hardware.
– Windows 10 and 11.

# Features:

Majority of these features can be turned off or reduced to enhance performance.

– Shadow casting and colored shadows.
– Style button for fast switching of Realistic looks and Vanilla.
– Godrays.
– Smart sharpening TAA and FXAA.
– Screen-Space reflections on blocks and water.
– Realistic and Vanilla clouds/water.
– Ambient occlusion.
– Bloom, Motion blur and Depth of Field.
– +5 customized color schemes.
– Optional auto-exposure
– Distant horizons support (Iris only)
– And more…

# [Gallery](https://modrinth.com/shader/lite-shaders/gallery)

# How to install?
– First, you need Iris shaders or OptiFine: https://irisshaders.dev/ https://optifine.net/downloads
– Put E-LITE shaders.zip folder at .minecraft/your_instance/shaderpacks
– Launch Minecraft with Iris or OptiFine installed.
– Open: “Options -> Video Settings -> Shaders”
– Choose E-LITE shaders.

# Recommendations:
– Minecraft Java 1.12.2, previous versions works but with some bugs.
– “Medium” profile.
– Smart leaves turned off, as it can break lighting.

### Requirements

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