Latest release on GitHub

Lux V1: BrickCraft Edition is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is Lux-EA-B3 - Feature Complete?, published on Sep 26, 2022.

After 92 commits since the last patch and a whopping 103 commits since the last major release, here I am yet again to officially publish the 3rd major version of the Lux shader pack.

[](user-images.githubusercontent.com/65711173/1923…)

I am making great progress towards getting lux out of its early-access phase, possibly by the release of Lux-EA-B4!

That means that Lux, when exiting the early access state, will be available for download over on CurseForge.

That is for future updates though, so let's rather take a look at what changed since the last major update.

  • Star coloring
  • Optimized stars
  • Added an issue template for bug reports
  • Added different volumetric fog types ("Legacy" & "Hybrid")
  • Fixes for volumetric fog
  • Tweaked ambient color
  • Nicer block light falloff
  • Optimized rain puddles
  • Frustum culling now automatically gets disabled when "World Curvature" is enabled
  • Fixed issues with NaNs on bloom

Lux V1: BrickCraft Edition 🕊️

Lux is a high fidelity Minecraft Java Edition shader pack based on Capt Tatsu's BSL Shaders.

With this exclusive Lux version, you get to play Minecraft with the popular BrickCraft resourcepack as the creator intended. I've been fortunate to have worked with Alex before he passed away and want to hereby honour his legacy and impact on the Minecraft community.

I am working closely with the BrickCraft team to allow for the best possible experience. Feel free to get in touch for any inquiries. For more information on BrickCraft please check here: brickcraft.de/.

How to install Lux V1: BrickCraft Edition

  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 Lux V1: BrickCraft Edition 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.
