FilterLite Shaders – Lightweight Color Grading & Camera Filters

SHADER

A screen-space post-processing shader that adds 20 color grading presets and camera filters with minimal FPS impact—works on any PC.

FilterLite Shaders is a pure post-processing shader that acts like a built-in Lightroom or camera filter for Minecraft. It skips dynamic shadows, waving foliage, and realistic water entirely, focusing on screen-space color manipulation. The result is a photographic, film-like look that runs at full speed on virtually any machine, including older laptops with integrated graphics.

This shader solves the problem of wanting a stylized, cinematic appearance without tweaking dozens of confusing settings or losing frames. Simply pick one of the curated presets or fine-tune the color yourself. It is ideal for players who love the vanilla aesthetic but crave subtle warmth, moody retro tones, or crisp high-contrast looks. Content creators will appreciate the ability to quickly switch profiles to match the mood of a build, screenshot, or video.

  • Color Grading Suite: Manual controls for Exposure, Contrast, Saturation, Temperature (Kelvin), and Tint for precise adjustment.
  • Camera Effects: Toggle Sepia, screen Vignette, and animated Film Grain to add analog character.
  • 20 Built-in Presets: Instantly jump between Clean & Natural (Default, Lark, Reyes, Ludwig, Perpetua), Warm & Cozy (Gingham, Slumber, Crema, Aden, Seventies, Toaster), High Contrast/Vibrant (Clarendon, Juno, Lo-Fi, Kelvin), and Retro & Monochrome (Moon, Inkwell, Vintage, Nashville, Cinematic).
  • Zero Lag: Built entirely on standard #version 120 GLSL math—if your PC can run base Minecraft, it runs this at full framerate. No shadow maps, no extra passes.
  • Effortless Setup: Fully compatible with Iris Shaders and OptiFine, and version-agnostic across Minecraft updates.

Because it’s a screen-space post-process only, FilterLite Shaders does not alter block models, water, or lighting in any meaningful way. If you’re looking for dynamic shadows, waving grass, or reflections, this is not the shader for that. Its strength is purely cosmetic color grading with absolutely no performance cost. To install, drop the downloaded .zip into your shaderpacks folder, select it in-game, and use the shader options menu to pick your favorite profile.
