Description

Lumen

Name Change

The name AetherRT has been changed to Lumen. Only the name has changed; the project remains the same.

Note: The name "Lumen" is not necessarily final and may change again in the future.

Hardware ray tracing for Minecraft Java Edition 26.3 (Fabric).

AetherRT is a hardware-accelerated ray tracing mod built around a Vulkan-native rendering architecture, with NVIDIA DLSS Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation, Multi Frame Generation and Reflex support.

No manual setup needed: AetherRT starts Minecraft on Vulkan automatically, even if your game is set to OpenGL by default.

Ray tracing can be enabled or disabled instantly while in-game, without restarting Minecraft or leaving and re-entering the world.

AetherRT is currently in Alpha. Expect bugs, visual issues, performance regressions, and breaking changes between versions.
