LiteShade
About
LiteShade is a shader pack for Iris made exclusively for low-end PCs. I designed it for modest hardware, such as an Intel UHD 630, without giving up what makes the game look good: colored lights, shadows, water with reflections, and a sky that feels alive.
Features
- Dynamic resolution for 60 FPS (with LiteLight)
- Night sky with stars and auroras, and a custom sky in the Nether
- Block lights in the Overworld, Nether, and End
- Water with reflections
- Vibrant colors




Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Fabric Loader 0.15.11 and Fabric API 0.92.2
- Iris 1.7.6+1.20.1
- Sodium 0.5.13 (required by Iris)
- LiteLight (optional, for dynamic resolution)
Installation
- Install Iris, Sodium, and Fabric API.
- Download LiteShade and copy the folder (or the zip) into the
shaderpacksfolder of your instance. - In Iris, select LiteShade in the shader menu.
- Optional: install LiteLight for dynamic resolution.
Notes
- In very demanding scenes, dynamic resolution may drop below 1080p.
