Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on BSL Shaders after installing it?
Open Options, then Video Settings, then Shaders, and select BSL from the shader pack list. If the Shaders button is missing, your shader loader isn't active yet.
Why is my screen black or flashing when I enable BSL Shaders?
This usually means the shader pack failed to compile, often from a mismatched shader loader or a broken graphics driver. Try switching to a different shader pack and back, or restart the game so the pack recompiles.
How do I open the BSL Shaders settings menu?
Go to Options, Video Settings, Shaders, then click Shader Options while BSL is selected. Everything from water waves to bloom is toggled from that menu.
Can I use BSL Shaders with other mods like OptiFine or Sodium?
BSL needs a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine to run, so it works alongside whichever one you use. Other rendering mods can conflict, so test them one at a time if visuals break.
