Neon District Shaders

A rain-soaked cyberpunk district: neon light zones in pink, cyan and purple, wet asphalt that mirrors every sign, a glowing skyline and searchlights cutting the smog.

Why Neon District?

• Neon Lights: Every light zone turns pink, cyan or purple neon. Two colors can mix in the same room.
• Wet Asphalt: Surfaces stay wet and puddles reflect the neon even when it is not raining.
• Neon Palette
• Neon Zone Size

Every effect above is a real setting in the shader menu (Signature Effects page), so you can tune it or turn it off. Underneath: real-time shadows, animated water, volumetric clouds, fog, bloom and colour grading.

Files

Six quality levels, each as its own zip, for Minecraft 1.13 and newer (Iris or OptiFine) and for 1.8.9–1.12.2 (OptiFine): Potato, Low, Medium, High, Extreme and Extreme Astor (the full look, as in the screenshots). Not sure? Start with Medium. Every zip also contains all levels as profiles in the shader menu, so you can switch in game.

Compatibility (what was actually checked)

• Checked in game: Minecraft 1.21.4 with Iris (Overworld, Nether and End screenshots on this page).
• All shader programs of both files pass a GLSL compile check.
• Other versions and OptiFine were not all tested in game; please report problems in the comments.
• Distant Horizons: not supported. Client-side only.

Installation

1. Install Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine.
2. Put the zip into .minecraft/shaderpacks (do not unzip it).
3. Options → Video Settings → Shader Packs → select the pack.

Photosensitivity: this pack has flashing effects; the Photosensitive Mode setting reduces them.
