Description from the author on Modrinth

True Stars makes stars brighter, and adds color and flicker to them!

The colors are predefined, there is:

  • Orange,
  • Yellow,
  • White
  • And Blue

The flicker is working, while tick rate is not freezed, and speeds up then rate is bigger.

The idea was taken from Better Stars, which i liked, and tried make it cooler.

How to install True Stars

  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 True Stars 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.
