What it does

Macula is a shaders mod for the Beta build of the game, updated to add features such as dynamic shadows. It is a fork of the Fabric loader adapted for Beta, named Babric, so installing it means using a Babric instance rather than a standard Fabric one, and the launcher choice should follow that setup. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything.

Key features

  1. Dynamic shadows

    Shadows move and change with the light source, adding depth to the world as it is lit.

  2. Shader effects

    The mod applies shader effects to the game, extending the original shaders release with newer updates.

  3. Babric-based install

    The mod is built on Babric, a Fabric fork for Beta, so it installs into a Babric instance.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.
