Radiance

Important: Radiance currently only supports Windows operating systems on this modrinth project.

Radiance is a Minecraft mod that completely replace the vanilla OpenGL renderer with our Vulkan C++ renderer, which supports high performance rendering and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Due to the variety of C++ usage in the modern industrial rendering pipeline, a seamless integration of a modern industrial rendering module (such as DLSS and FSR) into our Vulkan C++ renderer is thus possible.

System Requirements

Operating System: Windows 10/11 (64-bit)

Graphics API: Vulkan-compatible GPU with VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline extension

Hardware: GPU with VK_KHR_ray_tracing_pipeline extension (NVIDIA RTX Series or AMD/Intel cards supporting this extension)

Installation Guide

Please view Github Pages for detailed installation guides.
