Installation

1. Install Iris (Fabric/NeoForge) or Oculus (Forge 1.20.1).
2. Download the zip file. Do not unzip it.

4. In game, go to Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs and select Velumine Shaders.

Tips

• Not sure which profile to use? Start with AUTO or High.
• After changing ray tracing options, restart the game for the best result.
• Prefer a calmer image? Turn down vignette, film grain and chromatic aberration in the Image tab.

Known Issues

• With Distant Horizons, resizing the window or switching to fullscreen can leave streaks in the distance. Press F3 + R to fix it.
• Ray-traced effects only cover the area around the player.
