Pixel Reality - Luminance
Realistic lighting with vanilla textures or any other pack, a perfect alternative to shaders if your machine just can't handle them!
- If you like this pack don't ask me if you can include it in your resource pack, but suggest people to use it together with your own pack, that's the whole point of format changes Mojang introduced versions ago.
- If you want to let people know of this pack do it by posting a link to this page so I get credit and downloads.
To make this pack work properly you need to mod your game with Optifine. If you don't, no changes will be visible. Once downloaded, put it in your resource pack folder, start Minecraft, go to the resource pack menu, move them on top of your other resource packs and finally confirm to apply the changes.
NOTE: because of how Minecraft's lighting system works you need to keep your Brightness level as low as possible or the shading will basically be unnoticeable.
It includes 4 alternative packs (open the .zip and read the READ ME.txt file):
PIXEL REALITY - LUMINANCE (FULL)
This version is included in the Pixel Reality resource pack and is intended to heavily influence the gameplay, making the game more difficult.
Realistic shading and colors but with weaker light sources and darker shadows, being pitch black at light level 0 regardless of your Brightness settings. Night vision is hampered by strong light and heat sources (including the sun) making your vision actually worse at day and in the Nether. The End is very dark and even light sources are very dim; Night Vision is a life saver here.
PIXEL REALITY - LUMINANCE (PALE)
Like Full, but artificial lights in the Overworld are vanilla white-ish instead of orange. In the Nether they're still fire-red and in the End they're still dim and yellow-ish, to preserve the otherworldly atmosphere.
PIXEL REALITY - LUMINANCE (BRIGHT)
Realistic shading and light colors but vanilla brightness. Use this if you want bright nights and underground.
PIXEL REALITY - LUMINANCE (LIGHT)
Only realistic shading but vanilla colors and brightness. Use this if you only want nicer shadows but no other changes to visuals.
MORE PIXEL REALITIES!
Also check Pixel Reality - Atmosphere: it adds a realistic sky to vanilla or any pack, it's a good companion to Pixel Reality - Luminance if you want to give a realistic feel to your favorite pack.
Aw i think this doesnt work on Fabric since it requires Optifine. Probably IrisShader can help.
In reply to xenglaris:
It's just a resource pack changing one file that for some reason Mojang keeps hardcoded, so yeah, it only works with mods that let resource packs change that file, which means Optifine or anything compatible with it.
Cool pack, works fine and still gives the shaders vibes. 10/10

Incompatible with Distant Horizons. Breaks fake chunks from that mod. Using PR Luminance version 1.18.
In reply to Ggsentrygaming:
I don't see how that should happen since all this pack does is changing the lightmap, which has nothing to do with render distance. It's more likely a problem with Optifine itself, anyway there's nothing I can do to fix this.
Hey, I was using this texture pack for some time. I cant find any pack that does change lightmaps. Im using 1.19 right now and Im just curious if you have maybe plans of updating it? Its really cool. (Sorry if I made a grammar mistake, bad english)
In reply to zubula3:
There's no need right now, you can still use it as long as Optifine exists. Just ignore the warning and confirm.
In reply to Wedhro:
If you need to, you can change the version number in the resource pack file.
Using Luminance FULL, every time i give myself nightvision everything turns blue during the day, during the night it's functions properly.
1.12.2, Tried with Optifine HD U G5 and G6
This also Happens with the "Pale" Alternative.
In reply to senz0x:
Read the description: "Night vision is hampered by strong light and heat sources (including the sun)" - it's made on purpose to make it more challenging, basically being the opposite of not having NV: you can see at night but you're almost blind at day. The default version doesn't do that.
Is it okay if i have the resourcepack in my Modpack already there on download?
I'll obviously give credit on the Pack page!
In reply to senz0x:
I'd rather not, see the big red text on top of the page.
In reply to Wedhro:
Understood, thanks for the reply!
In reply to senz0x:
Wouldn't you still get the Downloads if it would get downloaded through a modpack using Curseforge?, just curious :D
In reply to senz0x:
I don't think so but if you find it does work like that let me know.
In reply to Wedhro:
Yes, they do count towards downloads if downloaded through a modpack.
In reply to senz0x:
So you wouldn't have to worry about not getting any downloads through modpacks, at least curseforge, Third party launchers are a different story, but since curseforge allows you to disable third-party distribution now that's also not a problem anymore.
In reply to senz0x:
Ok, go on.
pls update 1.12.2
