LVP (Lit Vanilla Plus) is a Minecraft shaderpack for Iris Shaders, designed to enhance the vanilla Minecraft visual experience without losing its original atmosphere and visual identity.
LVP focuses on improving lighting, shadows, weather, foliage, atmosphere, water, and camera effects, with configurable options that allow the shader to scale from performance-oriented setups to higher-quality visuals.
Real-time shadows for terrain, entities, players, and supported block entities
Configurable shadow resolution, distance, bias, filtering, and shadow strength
Local lighting effects for visible light sources
Colored lighting with configurable color, radius, falloff, saturation, and occlusion
Cloud shading and cloud shadows interacting with directional lighting
Dynamic foliage with wind movement and player/entity interaction
Rain effects with configurable intensity, density, movement, and droplet properties
Wet surfaces and puddles during rainfall
Dimension-specific atmosphere for the Nether and End
Biome-aware Nether atmosphere
Fluid fog for water, lava, and powder snow
Screen-space water reflections (Experimental)
Depth of Field with manual focus and autofocus options
Motion blur for camera movement and first-person objects
Configurable FOV effects
Vignette effects
End Portal rendering
Beacon beam rendering with configurable color
Performance and quality profiles for different hardware configurations
Configurable rendering systems to balance performance and visual quality
Enhance vanilla Minecraft rather than replace it.
LVP is designed to preserve Minecraft's recognizable lighting, atmosphere, and visual identity while adding greater depth, environmental interaction, and visual detail.
Every major system is configurable where practical, allowing players to choose between performance, balance, and visual quality.
