Simply Mirrors

Simply Mirrors

Real reflections. Six reflective sides.

Simply Mirrors adds a craftable, full-block mirror that reflects the world around it—including players and other entities. Every side reflects, so you can build wall mirrors, mirrored pillars, reflective floors, or mirrored ceilings with the same block.

Build it your way

• All six faces reflect: the four sides, top, and bottom work regardless of placement direction.
• No built-in frame: use wood, stone, metal, or any other blocks to match your build.
• Seamless larger mirrors: place mirror blocks together to create a continuous reflective surface.
• A dedicated creative tab: find the block in the Simply Mirrors tab.
• A simple survival recipe: surround one iron ingot with eight glass blocks to craft one mirror block.
• Shader reflections: use the tested Iris/Oculus and Complementary Reimagined combinations below, including indoor and entity reflections.

Try a bathroom mirror, a grand hall of mirrors, a polished dance floor, or a ceiling that reflects the room below.

Supported versions

Install the file matching your Minecraft version and loader. Fabric versions also require Fabric API. Install Simply Mirrors on both the client and server when playing multiplayer.

Immersive Portals and Architectury API are not required.

Compatibility and performance

Mirrors render when you are within 32 blocks, showing currently loaded terrain and entities. Up to six visible mirror planes can render per frame; larger flat surfaces share a reflection, while viewing more separate planes can reduce performance.

Shader reflections support Iris/Oculus with correct mirror clipping and reflected terrain visibility, including modern Sodium pipelines. They preserve camera, shadow, and temporal state while rendering a separate view. The tested combinations all use Complementary Reimagined r5.9.3:

On NeoForge 1.21.1, the renderer also handles the incompatible split depth/stencil attachments that can otherwise produce sky-only mirrors. Repairs are limited to incomplete reflection framebuffers, with the main-camera state preserved. Compatibility is validated against the pinned rendering stacks above; other shaderpacks and GPU drivers are not guaranteed.

Shader mods and packs are optional: install the matching combination on your client if you want shaders. They are not bundled with Simply Mirrors or required on a dedicated server. Other shader packs and versions have not been validated. See the shader validation guide for current coverage and the changelog for release-specific history.

Mirrors reflecting other mirrors recursively are not supported. Reflections preserve the main view's temporal history but do not yet accumulate separate per-mirror history. Minecraft 26.1.2 currently requires the OpenGL renderer.
