StarLite Cosmic Shaders

StarLite Cosmic brings a cosmic look to Minecraft with colorful night skies, atmospheric lighting, reflective water, and distinct effects across all three dimensions.

Overworld

• Star-filled skies with nebulae, animated auroras, and an optional fantasy planet

• Volumetric fog and god rays shaped by terrain shadows

• Softened shadows, sunset colors, and moving high clouds

• Rippling water with sky reflections and sunlight sparkles

Nether

• Drifting volcanic haze with biome-aware fog colors

• Warm lighting and brighter lava

• Bloom around luminous blocks

The End

• Violet and cyan nebulae, dense stars, and aurora ribbons

• A stylized black hole with a glowing disk and a distant planet

• Cosmic water reflections and atmospheric void haze

Choose Low, Balanced, or Ultra, and customize fog, shadows, sky effects, water, and bloom.

Requirements for the Forge setup

• Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1

• Forge

• Oculus 1.8.0

• Embeddium 0.3.31

Installation
Install Oculus and Embeddium, place the shader ZIP in your profile’s shaderpacks folder without extracting it, then select StarLite Cosmic in the shader menu.

Development build: Shader compilation and offscreen rendering checks have passed, but full Minecraft gameplay testing is still pending. Performance and compatibility may vary. Water reflections show the procedural sky rather than nearby terrain.
