Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Launch Minecraft, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select Chandler's Retro Shaders from the list. Click Apply and the shader will activate immediately.
Which preset should I use if my computer is really old?
Start with the Potato preset, which disables the most demanding effects and maintains the highest frame rate on weak hardware. If it runs smoothly, you can try Low or Medium presets for slightly better visuals.
Why do some blocks look washed out or wrong colored?
This is the intended retro color palette effect—blocks are remapped to a limited set of vintage colors. If colors look corrupted or glitchy rather than intentionally stylized, try switching presets or disabling and re-enabling the shader.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, Chandler's Retro Shaders is compatible with most mods, but mods that add custom blocks or heavily modify rendering may display unexpected colors. Test with your mod list to confirm.
