About
Luminance is a library mod that is primarily designed to help other mods with shaders.
As a user, you should only need to install this if a mod requires it.
Features
- Adds Dynamic Shader Uniforms
- These let post-processing shaders have more information about what's happening in-game.
- Luminance comes with a bunch of these by default, but you can add your own too!
- Adds shaders that have been used in previous minecraft versions.
- Requires Perspective or Souper Secret Settings.
- Luminance takes care of rendering shaders, so you don't have to!
- You can check if Iris Shaders are enabled using Luminance.
- This means you don't have to have Iris added to your development environment!
