🌙 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.
