About

Stunning visuals

Solas targets a distinct aesthetic: fantasy-inspired visuals with smooth and saturated lighting, soft clouds and beautiful atmospheric effects. Realism is seamlessly blended with stylish effects.

Compatible with Iris and OptiFine across all modern versions of Minecraft. PBR resourcepacks using LabPBR and OldPBR/SeusPBR format are supported alongside the internally generated PBR.
