Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, navigate to Shaders, and select Bluei's Better Visuals MacOS Shaders from the list. The shader activates immediately and you'll see the changes to lighting and shadows right away.
Why does my game feel slower after enabling shaders?
This shader is optimized for Mac but still uses more resources than vanilla Minecraft. Try lowering shadow intensity in the shader settings, or close other applications running in the background to free up system memory.
Can I use this shader with resource packs?
Yes, this shader works with most resource packs and is designed to preserve vanilla aesthetics, so they typically layer well together. If you notice visual conflicts, try disabling the resource pack temporarily to confirm the shader is the cause.
How do I adjust shadow darkness and intensity?
Open the Shader Options menu (usually accessible from Video Settings) and look for shadow-related sliders. You can fine-tune shadow intensity to match your Mac's performance and your preferred visual style.
