Eclipse focuses on crisp screen-space reflections and balanced lighting without straying from Minecraft's look — a tasteful mid-range upgrade with soft shadows and clear water.

How to install Eclipse

1. 1Install a shader loader for Minecraft 1.19 – 1.21.8 — Iris (pairs with Sodium) or OptiFine. Eclipse is a shaderpack, so it needs a loader to run.
2. 2Download the Eclipse .zip from the button above — keep it zipped. It is mirrored on MineSpecs, so there is no ad-gate or redirect.
3. 3Drop the .zip into your .minecraft/shaderpacks folder (%appdata%\.minecraft\shaderpacks on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/shaderpacks on macOS).
4. 4Launch the game, open Options → Video Settings → Shaders, and select Eclipse.
