Compatibility:
TrueLightFX Lite might work with the Minecraft versions 1.8.2 – 1.19, but older versions may experience bugs and reduced smoothness. For the best experience, it is strongly recommended to use Minecraft 1.19 or newer.Also I dont recomment using optifine bc of some features that are very buggy on Optfine but on Iris they just work fine!Also please note that I would recommend you to only use Versions of the game where Iris&Sodium still get updates!

# TrueLightFX Lite v5.6.3
### Fixes
### Compatibility
### Notes
### Fixes
- Fixed drowned and bogged mobs not being recognized by the shader due to typos.
### Compatibility
- Added support for all new blocks and mobs up to MC 26.2.
- Poplar leaves now wave in the wind like other leaves.

- New waxed copper blocks (bars, chains, chests, lanterns, etc.) now highlight when holding honeycomb.
- Suspicious sand and gravel now blend properly with the sand tint.
- All new mobs (happy ghast, copper golem, creaking, nautilus, etc.) now cast shadows.
### Notes
- This is a patch update, noticeable via the v5.6.X versioning scheme (where "X" represents the patch number, e.g., the first patch is v5.6.1, and so on).
- Thank you to everyone testing and supporting TrueLightFX!

Download
# TrueLightFX Lite v5.6.2
### Fixes
### Notes
### Fixes
- Fixed a major crash on older Iris versions that occurred when loading the shaderpack or switching profiles. This was caused by older compilers mishandling preprocessor conditions and looking for undeclared variables.
- Cleaned up corrupted byte data within the
shaders.propertiesfile that could lead to profile parsing issues when changing settings.
### Notes
- This is a patch update, noticeable via the v5.6.X versioning scheme (where “X” represents the patch number, e.g., the first patch is v5.6.1, and so on).

[v5.6.1] TrueLight FX Lite v5.6.1
by OGCRAFTNET_ on Oct 13, 2026
Download
# TrueLightFX Lite v5.6.1
### Fixes
### Notes
### Fixes
- Cherry blossom leaves (
cherry_leaves) and other plants like pink petals are no longer completely overexposed and no longer incorrectly emit light like glowing ores. - Cherry blossom leaves and azalea leaves now properly wave and wiggle in the wind, perfectly matching the animation of other tree leaves (oak, spruce, etc.).
- Updated and corrected block mappings for recent Minecraft updates. New blocks like the
open_eyeblossomwill now glow correctly in the dark, while theclosed_eyeblossomand other normal plants will not.
### Notes
- This is a patch update, noticeable via the v5.6.X versioning scheme (where "X" represents the patch number, e.g., the first patch is v5.6.1, and so on).

# TrueLightFX Lite v5.6
### New Features & Enhancements
### Notes
### New Features & Enhancements
- Glowing Ores & Flowers:** The "Glowing Ores" setting under Gimmicks has been expanded and renamed to "Glowing Ores & Flowers".
- Lush Emissives:** Added beautiful glowing effects to various lush plants and leaves, including Spore Blossoms, Glow Lichen, Pitcher Plants, Cherry Leaves, and Azalea.
- Dynamic Glow Colors:** Emissive blocks now glow dynamically using their original texture colors instead of a static yellow tint (e.g., Spore Blossoms now naturally glow pink, Glow Lichen glows cyan, and Diamond Ore glows blue).
- Animated Glowing Plants:** Glowing foliage is fully integrated with the wind animations and will continue to sway naturally in the wind while glowing.
- Optimized Performance:** The new emissive additions were built directly into the highly optimized existing ore glowing system, ensuring absolutely zero performance impact.
