Glimmer is a low, reflections and shadows Minecraft shader from jbritain with 236.4K downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Iris, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Glimmer is free to download and free to host on Orca: host it on a free Orca server and invite your friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Glimmer along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.

Glimmer is a Minecraft shaderpack designed to be simple and performant whilst maintaining a physically based and natural look.

How to install Glimmer

Two ways to add Glimmer to Minecraft. One takes a click.

The Orca way
  1. Click Host below. Orca spins up a free server with Glimmer already installed, ready for you and your friends.

That’s it. Nothing to download or configure.

The manual way
  1. Download the latest Glimmer file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
  2. Install Iris and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.
  3. Drop the downloaded .jar into your mods folder (the mods folder inside .minecraft, or your server's mods folder).
  4. Add any libraries Glimmer depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Iris profile.

Glimmerversions & compatibility

Glimmer targets Iris. Orca matches the right loader and Minecraft version for you when you host or play it, so you never have to line them up by hand. For the full list of supported Minecraft versions and required dependencies, check the Modrinth page.
