Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then Shaders. Find Ancient Brush Strokes in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the ink wash effect apply immediately to your world.
Why does my world look too dark or washed out?
Use the shader's settings menu (usually accessed by clicking the Settings button next to the shader name) to adjust the Ink Tone Darkness and Contrast sliders until the painting effect matches your preference.
Can I use this shader with mods that add new blocks?
Yes, the shader works with most block-adding mods, though custom blocks may not receive brush stroke effects as prominently as vanilla blocks. The ink wash effect will still apply to their surfaces.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling the shader. How do I fix it?
Lower the Brush Stroke Detail or Ink Gradient Quality settings in the shader options, and ensure your render distance isn't too high. The mod is designed for low-end hardware, so reducing these settings should restore playable performance.
