Aurelia-Shader

Aurelia Shader 2.0
Your Minecraft world. In a new light.

Warm sunsets, soft shadows, reflective water, and atmospheric nights: Aurelia 2.0 brings lighting, materials, and atmosphere together to make your world shine across all three dimensions.

Rediscover familiar landscapes—from morning mist above your forests to the glowing surroundings of the Nether and the mysterious atmosphere of the End.

Highlights

• Natural lighting: Balanced illumination, soft shadows, and matching colors for torches, soul fire, and redstone lighting.
• Prism Glass: All 16 stained glass colors, including panes, filter the light from nearby placed light sources. Bring colorful lighting to your builds.
• Material reflections: Iron, gold, copper, and netherite gain distinct surface properties—from polished to rough and oxidized.
• Mineral Glitter: Subtle sparkles on suitable minerals, ores, and metals respond to lighting and viewing angle.
• Living water: Moving waves, clear transparency, cloud reflections, and gentle underwater light patterns.
• Rain Ripples: Small circular rain ripples on exposed water surfaces, complemented by wet surfaces and puddles.
• Atmospheric surroundings: Clouds, stars, moon phases, auroras, fog, and moving plants.
• All three dimensions: Distinct lighting and fog moods for the Overworld, Nether, and End.

With Balanced, Ultra, and Cinematic, along with a range of settings, you can adjust the look and rendering workload to suit your hardware.

Tested with Minecraft Java 1.21.11, Fabric, Iris, and Sodium.
