![About](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daemon-tech/solace/master/page-assets/header_description.png)

Solace is a hand-built stylized shader pack that paints Minecraft in warm, soft light. It favours mood over realism, with glowing meadows, bright clear water and slow, colourful skies.

![Features](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daemon-tech/solace/master/page-assets/header_features.png)

- **Soft cel lighting** with cool, colourful shadows instead of black ones - **Light rays and soft bloom** filtering through tree canopies - **A world in the wind**: grass, flowers, crops, leaves, vines, bamboo, sugar cane, lily pads, cobwebs and hanging lanterns sway with the breeze, and gusts roll across meadows as soft silvery waves - **Glowing light sources**: torches, lanterns, candles, glow berries, glow lichen, furnaces, redstone, soul fire and copper lanterns glow and tint their surroundings in their own colour - **Warm light, calm nights**: torch light forms warm amber islands, the moon paints a faint silver rim on characters, and fireflies drift over the meadows - **Golden hours**: leaves and grass glow gold-green against the low sun, with dappled sunlight under the trees and drifting leaves and cherry petals - **No fog, crisp distance**: far land stays clear and keeps its colour, and the edge of the world fades softly into the sky - **Bright stylized water** with soft painted highlights on sunlit wave tops, gentle drifting sparkles, wet shores and soft reflections - **Moon glint** across the water at night - **Subtle outlines** and many effects with their own on/off switch - **Low / Medium / High profiles** and detailed settings

Pick a profile in *Shader Pack Settings*. **Compatibility:** Minecraft 26.3 · Iris 1.11.7 + Sodium ✅ · Bobby ✅ recommended · Voxy ✅ supported (far LOD land and water get the same cel look) · Distant Horizons ⚠️ not recommended yet · OptiFine not tested · tested on one GPU system so far. **Known issues:** foam on narrow streams can look strong.

![Questions?](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/daemon-tech/solace/master/page-assets/header_faq.png)

My FPS is low. What helps?

Use the Low or Medium profile, turn off light rays or shadows, and use Bobby instead of a huge render distance.

Do I need Whimscape?

No. Solace works with vanilla textures and any pack; Whimscape just matches the style.

Can I use it in videos or modpacks?

Videos and screenshots, including monetized ones: yes, a link back is appreciated. Modpacks: link to this page, don't include the file.
