Description
Enhanced Celestials Shader Support
Makes Enhanced Celestials lunar events visible when you're running Iris, Oculus, or any other shader pack.
Shader packs replace Minecraft's vanilla sky rendering, which normally hides the red / blue / gold tint Enhanced Celestials paints on during Blood Moon, Blue Moon, Harvest Moon, Eclipse, Super Moon, and Crimson Moon. This mod draws a fullscreen post-process color tint on top of the shader's output, so lunar events still read clearly no matter which shader pack you use.
Features
- Works with every major shader pack — BSL, Complementary, SEUS, Bliss, Sildur's, and any other Iris/Oculus-compatible pack. The tint layer sits after the shader's composite, so it isn't wiped by deferred lighting or bloom.
- Custom datapack moons supported automatically — Horde Moon, Hunter's Moon, Spider Moon, Miner's Moon, Peaceful Moon, Super Baby Zombie Moon, etc. Colors come straight from EC's own client settings, so there's no hardcoded whitelist — if the event exists in EC, this mod will tint for it.
- In-game config screen with per-event intensity sliders (Blood, Blue, Harvest, Eclipse, Super, Crimson), global color and glow intensity, transition speed, and master toggle. Defaults tuned to address community FLASHBANG / eye-pain reports from earlier versions.
- Smooth framerate-independent transitions — fade-in / fade-out driven by real wall-clock time, so the ramp looks the same at 30 FPS as it does at 240 FPS.
- Multiplayer-safe — dedicated servers broadcast the active event to clients via a lightweight sync packet. Admin-only features (debug mode, apply-during-day, test keybind) are locked to ops on remote servers.
Supported Platforms
- Forge — 1.20.1
- NeoForge — 1.21.1
- Fabric — 1.21.1, 1.20.1
Requirements
- Enhanced Celestials — provides the lunar events themselves. This mod has no purpose without it.
- A shader loader — Oculus (Forge) or Iris (NeoForge / Fabric). The mod still loads without one, but the tint won't be visible since vanilla already shows EC's sky colors.
- See each download's Relations tab for version-specific extras (CorgiLib, Data Anchor, Sodium/Embeddium, Fabric API).
Optional
- Forge / NeoForge: install Configured to enable the in-game "Config" button in the Mods menu.
- Fabric: install Mod Menu + Cloth Config to open the config screen in-game.
- Manual editing of
config/lunarshaders-client.toml(Forge / NeoForge) orconfig/lunarshaders.json(Fabric) always works as a fallback.
Known Compatibility Notes
- Forge 1.20.1: use Embeddium 0.3.31 — Rubidium 0.7.x is incompatible with Oculus 1.8.
- NeoForge 1.21.1: use Sodium-NeoForge 0.6.x — Iris 1.8+ refuses to load alongside Embeddium on NeoForge.
