Aetheria Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I enable Aetheria Shaders after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, go to Shaders, and select Aetheria Shaders from the list. Apply the changes and the shader will activate immediately.
Why is my water not glowing teal?
Make sure the shader is actually enabled in your video settings. If it's enabled but water looks normal, try adjusting the water glow intensity in the shader options menu (usually accessed by clicking "Shader Options" in the shaders screen).
Can I customize the colors of the magical water?
Yes—open the shader options menu and look for water-related settings where you can adjust the teal color and glow intensity to match your preference.
My Nether portals don't look like galaxies. What's wrong?
The galaxy portal effect requires the shader to be fully active and rendering. If portals still look vanilla, verify the shader is enabled and try reloading your world or restarting the game.
Does Aetheria Shaders work with other mods?
Yes, it's based on Complementary Reimagined which is designed to be compatible with most mods. However, mods that heavily modify rendering or dimensions may occasionally cause visual conflicts.
Why is my frame rate dropping with this shader?
Try lowering the shadow distance or disabling volumetric effects in the shader options menu. Aetheria is optimized to run fast, but very high settings on older hardware may still impact performance.
Can I adjust how the lava looks?
Yes—the shader options include settings to customize lava appearance and molten rock effects. You can tune the intensity and color to your liking.
Does each dimension really have its own sky and lighting?
Yes, the Overworld, Nether, and End each have custom skies and lighting styles. The End even features a giant volumetric tornado effect.
Will Aetheria Shaders break my world or delete blocks?
No—shaders only change how your world looks, not the actual blocks or data. You can disable the shader anytime and your world remains unchanged.
What should I do if the shader looks broken or has weird colors?
Try resetting the shader options to default, or disable and re-enable the shader. If problems persist, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
