Eclipse is a Minecraft shader pack published on Modrinth by gamerbenyt. A Revamped Version of EclipseLite, In Cooperation with Gamer Ben

Eclipse maintains compatibility with 21 Minecraft releases, from Minecraft 1.19 up to Minecraft 1.21.8. Always download the file that matches your Minecraft version, and re-check the version dropdown after any Mojang release to avoid crash-on-launch bugs.

Content-wise, Eclipse is categorized as Medium, Reflections, and Vanilla Like. That means it fits neatly into a wider Minecraft shader pack category so you can pair it with other shader packs from the same tag on this site.
