Transform Minecraft Java with cinematic lighting, atmospheric landscapes and a cosmic overhaul of the End. Explore detailed skies, reflective water and glowing celestial objects, with adjustable quality profiles for gameplay and screenshots.
Keep your subject and foreground sharp while softly blurring the background.
Enable it under Cinematics → Focus & Depth of Field → Blur Mode → Cinematic Autofocus. Leave Depth of Field Focus on Automatic, then adjust blur strength and quality.
Distance Blur and traditional Depth of Field are also available.
Use a shader-loader build matching your Minecraft version. Individual effects depend on your loader and hardware.
Performance varies with GPU, resolution, render distance, resource packs and settings. Start with Medium, then adjust cloud quality, shadows and reflections to suit your system.

Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Lumina Shader in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
