ImmersiveVFX

Version 1.9.0 can be used with Sodium 9.3 Beta 4+. Anything below can be used with Sodium 9.2. - 1.9.0 Requires NeoForge 26.3.0.80+ to work. Anything below at least 26.3.0.57+

ImmersiveVFX is a mod that completely overhauls the appearance and atmosphere of every single biome and dimension in Minecraft while preserving the vanilla aesthetic.

Water features realistic foam and underwater caustics projected onto the ocean floor. Various particle effects, fireflies, ambient fog, and ground fog bring the world to life while maintaining Minecraft's original visual style.

ImmersiveVFX also introduces custom weather and atmospheric events, such as sand winds, sandstorms, auroras, heavy rainfall, and much more.

Placed blocks feature smooth, bouncy placement animations, making building feel more satisfying and giving the entire Minecraft experience a cinematic, trailer-like appearance.

Additionally, ImmersiveVFX introduces beautiful pixelated shadows that blend naturally with Minecraft's vanilla art style without making the game look like it's running a heavy shader pack. The goal is to enhance Minecraft's visuals rather than completely change its identity.

Performance

Compared to shaders like Complementary Reimaged this all-in-one Effect and Shader mod has x2 up to 3x as much performance compared to Iris + Sodium + Complementary Reimaged

Important

The mod is currently in alpha state! bugs may occur, performance might drop. If so please leave a comment and a report.

Iris and Sodium Support

ImmersiveVFX is compatible with Sodium but NOT with Iris however:

IFVX is a all-in-one Effect and Shader Mod! If you still want to combine ImmersiveVFX with your favorite shaders, you can individually enable or disable specific effects in the ImmersiveVFX configuration to create your preferred visual experience.

Was AI used in any way?

As of version 2.0.2: AI was only used to create external Python scripts for mathematical calculations and conversions to save development time when making the render pipeline for OpenGL and Vulkan. No AI-generated code or assets are included in the mod. All actual mod development was done by hand. If that level of AI usage bothers you, that's entirely your choice. Otherwise, enjoy the mod!
