Description from the author on Modrinth

all this pack does is put 25w33a's ``core/lightmap`` shader into a resource pack so that it works in later versions, fixing the strangely warm lighting.
I have no idea if this'll break anything visually. maybe the end flashes? they're why the shader was changed in the first place. I dunno.

How to install Lightmap Fixer

  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 Lightmap Fixer 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.
