    About

    TrueLight FX Lite is a lightweight shader intended to give low- to mid-range PCs a richer, vanilla-styled look without a heavy performance cost. It adds animated water waves with adjustable size and speed, water reflections, light shafts through trees and windows, and fog that brings warm tones to daylight while making nights and caves darker. Other visual effects include glowing ores, animated underwater caustics, wind-swayed leaves, sand, and vegetation, and adjustable bloom. You can choose between TAA and FXAA, select Standard or Enhanced clouds, and use performance profiles ranging from low to higher settings.

    Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it

    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 · 2 of 3 latest files checked, last on 16 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.
      3 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the one 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

    AI was used for its code and text

    The author declares AI code and text 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.
