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.

- Fix error in gbuffers_hand in older versions (1.12.x) _(This error caused the program gbuffers_hand to not compile correctly which resulted in the hand being completely invisible in older versions. Thusly I put out this patch version due to the fix being quite urgent.)_
