FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 26.3

What it does

The mod enables native HDR rendering in Minecraft, with Iris shaders supported on top of it. Two HDR formats are covered, scRGB and HDR10 with PQ, and a separate render pass corrects the color of the user interface so menus keep readable tones on an HDR display. Settings are changed in game through a Cloth Config screen rather than by editing files.

The mod runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. Architectury API, Cloth Config API and Fabric API are required, and Iris Shaders is optional for players who want shader support. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 12 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Native HDR rendering

    Minecraft's output can switch to HDR, covering both scRGB and HDR10 with PQ signals.

  2. Interface color correction

    A dedicated render pass adjusts the color of menus and the HUD so they remain legible in HDR.

  3. In-game configuration

    Options are edited on a screen built with Cloth Config API, without touching config files.

  4. HDR screenshots

    Screenshots can be saved in HDR from inside the game, keeping the extended brightness range.

Use cases

HDR displays

Players with an HDR-capable monitor can use the mod to see the wider brightness and color range that the display supports.

Shader packs

With Iris Shaders installed, the HDR output works alongside shader packs that Iris loads.

Who it’s for: Players with HDR monitors who want Minecraft to output HDR on the client. Only the player's own installation is affected, so server owners do not need to install it.

Questions

Does HDR Mod need to be installed on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Which loader should be chosen for HDR Mod?

Fabric, Forge and NeoForge builds are all published. The latest Fabric and NeoForge files target 26.3 on the beta channel, and the latest Forge file targets 1.20.1.

Do the Architectury API and Cloth Config API have to be installed?

Yes. Architectury API and Cloth Config API are required dependencies, and Fabric API is also required for the Fabric build.

What the author says

Use these uniforms inside #if HDR_MOD_INSTALLED block. ### Output the output of the shader(aka. what is written to main render target in final pass) should have scRGB-nl encoding(Rec.709 primaries, sRGB (for negative numbers use −f(−x)) transfer function), and you should not use RGBA8F for scene color. - Wiki Section…
