Description from the author on Modrinth

Umbra aims to overhaul the graphics by changing the earthly, familiar feel of Minecraft to something ethereal and otherworldly, that of cosmic realities.

(Warning!: This shaderpack is very new/bare and under development by me only.

Tested only on MC version 26.2 with 1.11.4 Iris for Fabric on a Windows 11 Laptop with Integrated AMD graphics. Performance is unoptimized. There may be issues!

Download only as a means to grow with me and for the goal of my shader's vision.)

Currently in the pack -

Umbra features what you would expect from most shaders - Shading, Diffuse Lighting, Render-Distance Fog, Time-of-day, etc.

  • The influence of purple is immature.

Plan to add -

  • Purple or the influence of purple being seen on nearly everything in game. Apart from UI and base textures.
  • Stardust present in every dimension, and how these particles differ in gravity, direction, density and light in each dimension.
  • And many more things to add!

Notes:

Written by lippi. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.

How to install Umbra

  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 Umbra 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.
