Luminance Mod is a library mod that can be utilized by developers to configure how the contents of their mod work with shaders. As a library mod, the mod by itself does not add anything new into the game, but it may be required to install this mod if any other mod needs it as a required dependency.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to do anything after installing Luminance Mod?
No, Luminance is a library mod that works in the background. You only need it installed if another mod requires it as a dependency. By itself, it won't change your game.
Will Luminance Mod make my shaders look better?
Luminance doesn't improve shaders directly, but it enables shader developers to access more in-game information through Dynamic Shader Uniforms, which allows them to create more advanced visual effects. The improvement depends on whether your shader pack is designed to use these features.
How do I check if Iris Shaders are actually running?
You can use Luminance's built-in detection to verify if Iris Shaders are active in your game. Check the guide 'Check if Iris Shaders are Active in Your Game' for the specific method.
My shaders aren't working with Luminance installed. What do I do?
Start by checking the 'Troubleshoot Shader Compatibility Issues' guide to diagnose the problem. Common issues include shader packs not being compatible with your version or conflicting mods, but Luminance should actually improve compatibility rather than break it.
