PoorLite is a lightweight Minecraft Java Edition shaderpack designed to improve visuals while keeping performance stable on low and mid range systems, focusing on enhanced lighting, shadows, water, and atmosphere without heavy performance cost, offering a clean and balanced visual upgrade that makes the game feel more modern while staying optimized and accessible, with features like subtle bloom, basic reflections, waving vegetation, and improved weather and night ambience, and it is still in development with future updates planned including volumetric clouds and improved water rendering, recommended for use with Iris or OptiFine.
Still in early development, please comment bugs and features you want to see.
