ProjectLUMA is a passion project from some dedicated Minecraft shader developers, the official successor to the popular KUDA shader pack. projectLUMA does not cut any corners and has been made completely from scratch to ensure game optimization and avoid any in-game errors.
This is a fascinating shader pack because of the outstanding visuals you will find within the Minecraft world after installation. ProjectLUMA’s primary goal is to make the game world look as realistic and beautiful as possible. The collection of visual overhauls within the pack come together to give you a brand new experience.
Once you load into the game world, you will immediately notice the new photorealistic skyblocks and the god rays shining down on the game world around you. A whole new level of immersion is created due to the lighting effects provided by this shader pack.
You will find that there are some advanced graphical adjustments to the game from this shader pack, such as the introduction of ambient occlusion and native motion blur. The developers have added visual enhancements that you might typically find in AAA games within Minecraft.
After getting familiarized with the new game world features and visual upgrades, you might notice that you are more at one with the game than ever before. This is because ProjectLUMA does a fantastic job of improving the comfort of the game world. You will picture yourself inside the game world more than ever with the new elements of realism. To further increase the realistic gaming experience of Minecraft, consider looking for a recommended realistic texture pack as well.
Be mindful that this shader pack is very demanding for computers and will run smoothly on newer, high-end machines. Those with older machines might see low framerates or less-than-optimal gaming conditions. ProjectLUMA Shaderpack can only be used by those who have Iris Shaders or Optifine installed for the shaders to function correctly. ProjectLUMA Shaderpack can automatically be used within your Minecraft world once the shader loader is installed.

It don’t work in 1.7.10 :(
It’s a shame that the shaders make it so that there is no outline of the block the player is looking at, it makes building a bit awkward. I don’t know if there was an option to change that because i couldn’t find it, but it’s the only thing keeping me from switching to Luma from Complementary
best looking for fps, gtx 1060 on lite 170fps and looks like some top shaders
You are a best shader of world for zero leg for best is a space hundred best shaded
cool shader
If I look up it looks so lagy
how am i supposed to add the packs and not the folders to the resource packs?
best shaders!!!
I put it on Minecraft Android, it worked and it was really great. Why fps Gives very little 😕
it looks terrible tbh, theres these lines across the floor and the lighting is inverted. I have a Ryzen 7 5700g and a rx570
