a library mod that helps other mods with shaders
Quick answer
Which Luminance release matches 1.20.6 Fabric?
Luminance 1.0.0-alpha.3+1.20.5 targets 1.20.5, 1.20.6 with Fabric, Quilt. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 2 required mods need a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Luminance required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Luminance 1.0.0-alpha.3+1.20.5 need?
1.0.0-alpha.3+1.20.5 on 1.20.6 Fabric. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) / Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), Fabric API first, but 2 required mods have no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About
Luminance is a library mod that is primarily designed to help other mods with shaders.

- Luminance comes with a bunch of these by default, but you can add your own too!
- Adds shaders that have been used in previous minecraft versions.
- Requires Perspective or Souper Secret Settings.

- You can check if Iris Shaders are enabled using Luminance.
