Hardware and trade-offs
The pack lists a GTX 1050 with 8 GB of RAM as the minimum, with 4 GB allocated to Java. The recommended setup is a GTX 1660 with 16 GB of RAM and 6 to 8 GB allocated. Those figures are the pack's own, not a benchmark. That puts it in the mid-range tier, not the potato tier.
Questions about Luminara Shader Spooky.
4 questions
Does Luminara Shader Spooky work with Iris and OptiFine?
Yes. The pack lists builds for both Iris and OptiFine, and its installation steps tell you to install either one, place the .zip in the shaderpacks folder and select the pack from the shaders menu. Neither build requires any extra dependency.
What PC do I need for Luminara Shader Spooky?
The pack lists a GTX 1050 with 8 GB of RAM as the minimum, with 4 GB allocated to Java. The recommended setup is a GTX 1660 with 16 GB of RAM and 6 to 8 GB allocated. Those figures come from the pack itself, not from a benchmark.
Is Luminara Shader Spooky based on another shader?
Yes. The pack states it is based on Complementary Shaders by EminGT. IXSG built the Halloween look on top of it, with darker nights, heavier fog, desaturated colors and flickering torch light.
Can I use Luminara Shader Spooky on Bedrock?
No. This is a Java pack that needs Iris or OptiFine, and both are Java mods that Bedrock cannot run. The pack is listed on CurseForge as a Java project, and Bedrock uses a different format, so Bedrock players need a pack built for that format instead of this one.
