DGR Shader Official Edition FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why does my game look too bright or washed out with DGR Shader?
The shader is calibrated for a specific in-game brightness level. Go into your Minecraft video settings and set the brightness slider to 50% for the intended lighting balance.
How much RAM do I need to run DGR Shader without crashing?
The shader is designed for low-end devices and is adapted to run with 1GB of free RAM. Close background apps on your device before launching the game to ensure that memory is available.
Can I use DGR Shader with Faithful or other texture packs?
Yes, because the shader retains the vanilla Minecraft style, it can be combined with any texture pack you like. Adjust the load order in your active resource packs list depending on whether you want the shader's custom textures or your other pack's textures to take priority.
Why did my tools, ores, and UI change after activating the shader?
DGR Shader is not just a lighting pack; it also includes new vanilla-style textures for tools, weapons, minerals, mobs, blocks, water, and the user interface. If you prefer different textures for these items, place another texture pack above DGR Shader in your resource pack settings.
How can I tell if the shader is actually working in my world?
Look up at the sky to check for the new clouds and a realistic sun and moon, and look at trees to see if the leaves are moving. You should also immediately notice the updated interface texture and new water textures.
Does DGR Shader change how mobs look?
Yes, it includes new textures for mobs while keeping the default vanilla style. If you do not see the updated mob textures, make sure another resource pack is not overriding them.
Why aren't the tree leaves moving?
Ensure the pack is activated in your active resource packs list and not just sitting in your available packs. Also check your video settings to make sure fancy graphics or relevant animation toggles are not disabled by your device's power-saving mode.
Which devices and platforms can run DGR Shader?
The shader is compatible with Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Android, iOS, and Windows.
How do I keep the lighting and sky from DGR Shader but use another pack's block and item textures?
In your resource pack settings, activate both packs and place your preferred texture pack above DGR Shader in the load order. This lets the top pack overwrite the block, mineral, and tool textures while keeping DGR's sky, clouds, and leaf movement.
How do I fix lag when using DGR Shader on a low-end phone?
Make sure your device actually has at least 1GB of free RAM available while the game is running by clearing background tasks. You can also lower your in-game render distance so the moving leaves and custom water textures load across fewer chunks.
