Description from the author on Modrinth

Removes the shading engine

every texture has a little gamma however it does still have support for dark areas/night

Probably the worlds smallest shader!

it makes the game like some youtuber shaders
ex. MumboJumbo

How to install Lightingless

  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 Lightingless 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.
