Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, go to Shaders, and select Builder's QOL from the list. The shader activates immediately—you'll see the lighting changes right away.
Why do my blocks look washed out or too bright?
This usually means your brightness or gamma settings are too high. Lower your in-game brightness slider and adjust your monitor's brightness instead for better contrast and block visibility.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, Builder's QOL works with most mods. Avoid using it with other shader packs at the same time, and be cautious with mods that heavily modify lighting or block rendering.
My frame rate dropped after enabling the shader. How do I fix it?
Open the shader settings and disable or reduce visual effects like shadows or ambient occlusion. You can also lower your render distance or turn off fancy graphics in Video Settings.
