Enhanced Vision
Enhanced Vision highlights the outlines of objects and walls, and it blurs objects, with the blur increasing with increasing distance of the object from the centre of the player's view. Additionally, it adds a shimmering effect over fire sources and lava.

Frequently asked
Does Enhanced Vision work on Minecraft 26.1.2?
Yes. 26.1.2 is the newest Minecraft version Enhanced Vision declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.
Which Minecraft versions does Enhanced Vision support?
Everything the author has declared, from 1.21.5 up to 26.1.2. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.
Do I need to install Enhanced Vision on the client or the server?
The client only. There is nothing to install on the server, so it works on any server you can already join.
Which loader does Enhanced Vision need?
OptiFine, Iris. A build for one loader will not load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.
Which Java version do I need for Enhanced Vision?
Java 25 or newer, because that is what the newest Minecraft release it supports requires. The requirement comes from the game rather than from the shader pack itself.
What licence is Enhanced Vision under?
CC-BY-NC-4.0, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.
How do I install Enhanced Vision?
Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the shader pack and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.
Where do I download Enhanced Vision safely?
From the author's own page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
Works on the same versions
