Choosing Compatible Shaders

This pack pairs best with shaders that enhance realistic lighting without oversaturating colors. BSL Shader is officially recommended, but other options like Complementary or SEUS work well too. Avoid extremely stylized shaders that clash with the pack's semi-realistic medieval tone.

Configuration Steps

1. Install your chosen shader through your shader mod

2. Load into a world with the BTV pack active

3. Open shader settings and adjust:

  • Ambient Occlusion: Enable for shadow depth in crevices
  • Shadow Distance: Set to medium-high to see shadows on detailed block features
  • Bloom/Glow: Moderate levels make lanterns and sea lanterns stand out

4. Test in different lighting: dawn, noon, and night reveal how shaders interact with the pack's textures

Fine-Tuning for Medieval Builds

Lower saturation slightly if colors feel oversaturated—medieval stone should look earthy, not vibrant. Increase contrast to make the 3D models pop. If performance drops, reduce shadow quality before disabling effects entirely. The pack's detailed models benefit most from shaders that cast proper shadows on uneven surfaces.
