Turn On the Makima Shader and Confirm It's Working

Makima Visual Theme Shader is a shader pack. It needs a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine before it can change anything in your world.

Loading the pack

1. Start the game with your shader loader active.

2. Go to Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs. Click the button that opens the shader pack folder.

3. Place the Makima shader pack file in that folder. Leave it zipped.

4. Return to the Shader Packs screen and select the Makima pack from the list.

5. Apply the change and close the menu. The first load can take a moment while the shader compiles.

Checking that it works

Load a world and compare what you see against the shader's intended look:

• Daytime: the landscape should be bathed in soft pink light and feel calm and warm.
• Morning: the sky should look quietly warm, with dark clouds over fields and flowers.
• Sunrise: pink tones should spread across the sky.
• Night: the mood should turn unsettling, with deep, lingering shadows.

If cheats are on, you can check each phase quickly with /time set day and /time set night.

If the world still looks like vanilla, go back to the Shader Packs screen. Confirm the Makima pack is highlighted as the active one, and check that your loader is actually running. If your loader is not running, the Shader Packs option will be missing from Video Settings.
