Lux V1
Lux is a high fidelity Minecraft Java Edition shader pack based on Capt Tatsu's BSL Shaders.
By default, Lux is meant for mid- to high-end users, however offers a wide range of settings to make the shader truly yours. While trying to be highly compatible across different hardware & software specification, aesthetically pleasing and gameplay-friendly, Lux also incorporates experimental and rarely-seen features. It is getting updated frequently and still new to the game, but is accordingly using more modern tech to produce good looking visuals making it a shader pack definitely not to miss out on.
