Afterimage Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable Afterimage Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, select Shaders, and locate Afterimage Shaders in your shader pack list. Click it to activate, then confirm the changes.
Why is my fog so thick I can't see anything?
Volumetric fog density is likely set too high. Open the shader options menu (usually accessible from Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options) and reduce the fog density slider until you reach your preferred visibility.
Can I use Afterimage Shaders with other mods?
Yes, Afterimage Shaders works with most mods since it only affects visuals. However, mods that heavily modify sky rendering or dimension visuals may conflict—test in-game to confirm compatibility.
The Nether looks completely black. Is that normal?
Yes, Afterimage Shaders intentionally darkens the Nether with moody ambient lighting for atmosphere. If it's unplayable, reduce ambient light or fog density in the shader options.
How do I turn off the black hole in the End?
Open the shader options menu and look for End dimension or black hole settings. You can disable or customize the effect there, though the option availability depends on your shader version.
Why is my game lagging with this shader pack?
Volumetric fog and shadow rendering are performance-intensive. Try lowering fog density, reducing shadow quality, or disabling volumetric effects in shader options to improve frame rate.
Do the custom skies work in all biomes?
The hand-drawn sky artwork applies globally, but fog and lighting effects vary by biome—forests will be foggier than plains, and caves have their own ambient lighting.
Can I customize the day/night sky colors?
Yes, open the shader options menu and look for sky customization settings where you can adjust colors and appearance for day and night cycles.
Does Afterimage Shaders require Iris to work?
Yes, this shader pack works directly with the Iris shader engine, so you must have Iris installed for Afterimage Shaders to function.
Will the shadows look weird with fast-moving objects?
Soft sun shadows shift smoothly throughout the day but may appear slightly disconnected from fast-moving entities. This is a visual trade-off of the shader's atmospheric design.
