# LumaLite
**Lightweight, cross-platform Minecraft shaders tuned for high FPS — Apple Silicon friendly.**

> nice visuals that stay fast across a wide range of hardware, including Macs.

## 🛠️ Installation
1. Download `LumaLite.zip` (don't unzip it).
2. In-game: **Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs → Open Shader Pack Folder**.

## 💡 Performance tips
- On Retina/high-res displays, running windowed at ~1080p is the biggest FPS boost.
- If you dip below target FPS, step the Profile down a tier, or turn off god-rays/shadows first.
