## 🛠️ Installation

1. Download `LumaLite.zip` (don't unzip it).

2. In-game: **Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs → Open Shader Pack Folder**.

3. Drop `LumaLite.zip` in, click **Refresh**, select **LumaLite**, enable shaders.

## 💡 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.
