    About

    Aurora Fantasy is a shader pack that gives Minecraft a vivid, dreamlike fantasy atmosphere through cinematic lighting, rich colors, and magical skies. At night, it adds shimmering, dynamically moving auroras, realistic stars, and glowing fireflies. Dynamic clouds and soft fog add depth to the horizon, while the sun has an enhanced appearance and interactive lighting effects. Water and wet surfaces feature realistic waves, reflections, and rain puddles, with animated ripples and foam along shorelines; rain also brings visible droplets and atmospheric effects. Desert weather can include dust and sandstorms, and glass blocks have improved light transmission and reflections. The pack offers two visual styles: Aurora Fantasy emphasizes vibrant colors and a classic magical aurora aesthetic, while Aurora Astral takes a cosmic direction with celestial bodies, galactic skies, and animated astral rifts. Balanced and Extreme presets let players choose between smoother performance and more intensive visuals, and support for Distant Horizons can be toggled.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked what is inside its files, without opening them in the game.

    Why we show this: a shader cannot run programs, but its file can hide one. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 25 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.
      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.

    Privacy

    Sends nothing

    A shader has no code that can connect to the internet, so it cannot send anything about you.

    AI

    The author declares AI code and assets on Modrinth

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
