How to use this?

1. Install a compatible mod such as Canvas (up to 1.20.2) or can-pipe (26.1 and beyond.)

1. Put ecos-vx.x.zip inside your Resource Packs folder and activate it like a regular resource pack.

1. Open Video Settings and configure the pipeline to ecos shaders. If you’re on Canvas, you might need to open the Canvas submenu.

Background

Recently I got a laptop, and when I run Lumi Lights on it it started to overheat. So I made this shader as a replacement. It’s not the exact same but it got the basic ideas that I wanted from a shader while keeping performance impact at minimum.
