Lumen_NM

🌙 Lumen_NM

A subtle, lightweight shader that gently enhances Minecraft’s UI and water colors.

Lumen_NM is a minimalist shader designed to complement Minecraft’s look rather than overhaul it. It focuses on small, tasteful visual improvements that keep the game feeling clean, readable, and unmistakably vanilla.

✨ Features

Soft, subtle color adjustments that make menus and HUD elements feel cleaner and more cohesive. (Based on your description: “subtle minor changes to Minecraft’s UI… mostly just color changing”)

Improved Water Coloration

Vanilla‑Friendly Aesthetic
No dramatic lighting, no heavy post‑processing — just small enhancements that support Minecraft’s original style. (“supposed to complement Minecraft not redo the entire UI”)
