AuraLite Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on AuraLite Shaders after installing it?
Open your Shader Options menu in-game, find AuraLite Shaders in the list, and select it. Your world will reload with the shader applied immediately.
Why is my frame rate dropping with this shader?
Try disabling anti-aliasing or bloom in the shader settings, as these are the most performance-heavy features. You can also lower your render distance or disable volumetric clouds if you need more frames.
Can I use AuraLite Shaders with resource packs?
Yes, AuraLite works with most resource packs. If you're using a LabPBR-compatible pack, the shader will display shiny and textured surfaces correctly.
Why do my shadows look broken on hills and mountains?
This is a known issue with older shader versions—update to the latest version where shadow fixes have been applied to slopes and uneven terrain.
How do I make underwater areas easier to see?
Check the Water and Underwater Visibility guide in the wiki, which covers adjusting fog density and light refraction settings to improve clarity below the surface.
What's the difference between the bloom and sun rays effects?
Bloom makes bright light sources glow softly in dark areas, while sun rays create visible beams of light streaming through clouds and trees. You can toggle each separately in the shader options.
Does AuraLite Shaders work in the Nether?
Yes, the shader applies to all dimensions including the Nether. Lava and magma blocks will display with more realistic glowing cracks and depth.
Why do glass and ice blocks show ripples underwater?
This was a visual bug in earlier versions—update your shader to the latest version where water ripples no longer appear on transparent blocks.
Can I disable just the volumetric clouds?
Yes, open the shader settings and look for the volumetric clouds or 3D clouds option to toggle it off while keeping other effects enabled.
Is AuraLite Shaders compatible with Sodium or other optimization mods?
AuraLite is designed to work with modern graphics card drivers and common optimization mods, but always test in a backup world first to ensure compatibility with your specific setup.
