Description from the author on Modrinth

Bloom is a lightweight, vibrant shader.
It keeps the vanilla feel, but makes the world brighter, warmer, and more beautiful.

Made to look good while still running well on low-end and potato PCs.

Bloom is made for smooth gameplay and lower-end systems.
It avoids heavy effects, extreme reflections, and expensive rendering tricks, making it a good choice for potatoes.

Survival gameplay
Low-end laptops
Vanilla-style worlds
Players who want shaders without huge FPS loss

How to install Bloom

  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 Bloom 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.
