A realistic, optimized shaderpack for Minecraft Java 1.16.5 – 26.x.

Lueur Shaders makes Minecraft look realistic while keeping performance under control, with four quality profiles from Low to Ultra.

Lighting

Physically based deferred lighting with a warm sun and cool, contrasted shadows Soft shadows, with colored light through stained glass Ambient occlusion (SSAO), subsurface scattering on leaves, and light bouncing off the ground Realistic torches: bright core, warm falloff, subtle flame flicker Held light sources light up your surroundings; long-range dynamic lights for thrown torches and flaming arrows Works with LambDynamicLights and OptiFine Dynamic Lights

Sky and atmosphere

Procedural sky with a crisp sun disk, a subtle halo, and soft sunrises and sunsets Volumetric 3D clouds with flat bases, puffy tops and glowing edges Volumetric sunbeams and crepuscular rays through clouds, trees and mountains Morning ground mist, rain haze, and fog only at the edge of the render distance

Water

• No vanilla texture: fully procedural, transparent water
• water that gets cloudier after rain
• Waves react to the weather (calm, rain, thunderstorm with whitecaps)
• Raindrop ripples
• Refraction, screen-space reflections (with clouds), caustics, shore foam
• Underwater light shafts

Materials

Generated normal maps on every block, no resource pack needed LabPBR resource pack support Specular highlights on polished blocks and metals Wet surfaces and reflective puddles in the rain Waving leaves and plants

Post-processing

Temporal anti-aliasing, bloom, auto exposure, ACES filmic tonemapping, vignette

Mod compatibility

• Distant Horizons (with Iris): distant terrain and water are lit and reflected, and fog moves to the edge of the LOD render distance
• Bobby: fog follows your render distance automatically
