🌅 Dara Shaders
Dara is a lightweight, atmospheric shader pack for Iris, built for players who want a beautiful look without sacrificing performance. No heavy ray tracing or expensive passes — just a carefully balanced mix of light, color, and atmosphere.

✨ Features
- 🔆 Soft directional lighting — terrain and entities react in real time to the
position of the sun and moon
- 🌗 Soft shadows (shadow map) — objects cast shadows with light PCF smoothing,
no harsh pixelated edges
- 🔥 Dynamic light blending — warm orange torchlight contrasts with cool blue
skylight, blended based on each block's light level
- 🌊 Living water — animated surface waves combined with sun-glint highlights
- 🌌 Gradient sky — a smooth transition from zenith to horizon, with a glowing
sun and moon
- 💫 Bloom & color grading — soft glow on bright areas, boosted saturation,
cinematic tone mapping, and a subtle vignette
- ⚡ Performance-friendly — no unnecessary passes or expensive effects, runs
smoothly even on weaker hardware

📋 Requirements
- Iris Shaders (Fabric/Quilt) or OptiFine
- Minecraft: Java Edition
🔧 Installation
- Install Fabric Loader and the Iris mod (or OptiFine)
- Download Dara.zip from the Files section above
- Place the archive — without extracting it — into .minecraft/shaderpacks/
- In-game: go to Video Settings → Shaders → Dara
🎨 Design philosophy
Dara aims for a warm, cinematic feel rather than photorealism. Sunsets glow, torchlight feels cozy against a cool night sky, and water catches the light without slowing your game down. It's meant to make vanilla worlds feel a little more alive — without turning your PC into a space heater.
🛠️ Planned improvements
- [ ] Higher-quality shadow filtering (PCSS)
- [ ] Volumetric light shafts
- [ ] Water reflections
- [ ] In-shader configurable options menu
