This shader changes the lighting to something closer to what it looked like back in the day.
Highly recommend use with the programmer art resource pack as well as PACP (Nostalgica Reverie project) modrinth.com/resourcepack/pacp/versions
Just a weekend-project, really lightweight, very customizable.
Did get some help from AI with troubleshoooting and cleanup maybe I needed to disclose that.
also the project could probably maybe work on older versions, idk you could try.
Written by beboadlyy. Read it with pictures on Modrinth.
Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine for your Minecraft version: shaders need one of them.
Download the .zip file from Modrinth. Do not unzip it.
In Minecraft, open Options, then Video Settings, then Shader Packs, and click Open Shader Pack Folder.
Drop the .zip file into that folder, pick Legacy tone in the list and click Done.
Shaders are heavy on the graphics card. If the game gets slow, pick a lower profile in the shader settings.
