Description from the author on Modrinth

Reverie is a minecraft shader with a semi-realistic, dreamy style. It features a physically based atmosphere and advanced indirect lighting techniques.

Support for both Distant Horizons and Voxy is available, with more mods coming in the future.

Dynamic weather system

Weather elements such as cloud cover, fog, and wind direction adapt dynamically based on biome, season, and altitude. Still, having every location always look the same would feel repetitive. To keep things fresh, these parameters are slightly randomized every time the shader loads, so each day looks unique, much like in the real world!

Powerful & Customizable

Reverie has a streamlined customization system. Most light colors are customizable (with more to come). If you're performance constrained, then rest assured. Set the profile to 'Toaster' and enjoy good performance (60fps on my laptop's integrated graphics) with minimal visual compromises.

Beautiful screenshots

The built-in screenshot mode freezes the weather, so you can get your shots lined up just right! Enable cinematic effects like depth of field, lens flare or chromatic aberration, to get the vibe you want exactly. Reverie also has advanced color balancing options, as well as several tonemappers to choose from.

How to install Reverie

  1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.

  2. Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.

  3. In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.

  4. Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Reverie in the list and click Done.

  5. Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
