LVP — Lit Vanilla Plus

LVP (Lit Vanilla Plus) is a Minecraft shaderpack for Iris Shaders, designed to enhance the vanilla Minecraft visual experience without losing its original atmosphere and visual identity.

LVP focuses on improving lighting, shadows, weather, foliage, atmosphere, water, and camera effects, with configurable options that allow the shader to scale from performance-oriented setups to higher-quality visuals.

Rendering

• End Portal rendering

• Beacon beam rendering with configurable color

Performance

Design Philosophy

Enhance vanilla Minecraft rather than replace it.

LVP is designed to preserve Minecraft's recognizable lighting, atmosphere, and visual identity while adding greater depth, environmental interaction, and visual detail.

Every major system is configurable where practical, allowing players to choose between performance, balance, and visual quality.
