Color Cone Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on Color Cone Shaders after installing it?
Open the Shaders menu in your Video Settings, find Color Cone Shaders in the list, and click it to activate. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
What color blindness types can this shader simulate?
The shader includes modes for the most common types of color vision deficiency, allowing you to see how your build appears to players with different color perception. Check the mod description or in-game shader options to see all available modes.
How do I switch between different color blindness modes?
Open Shader Options (usually accessible from the Shaders menu) and look for the color vision mode setting. You can cycle through the available modes to test how your world looks under different color vision conditions.
Will Color Cone Shaders slow down my game?
No, this shader only adjusts screen colors and runs as a vanilla shader, so it has minimal performance impact on most computers. You should see little to no FPS drop compared to playing without it.
Can I use Color Cone Shaders with other shader packs?
No, you can only have one shader pack active at a time. You'll need to switch back to Color Cone Shaders whenever you want to test color blindness visibility.
Does this shader work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, shaders are client-side only, so you can use Color Cone Shaders on any server without needing special permissions or modifications on the server itself.
Why do some blocks look almost identical in certain color blindness modes?
This is exactly what the shader is designed to show—blocks that are hard to distinguish for players with that type of color vision. This helps you identify which blocks in your build need color or texture changes for better accessibility.
Can I use this shader to test signs and text readability?
The shader changes block and item colors to simulate color blindness, so it will help you see if text colors or colored blocks used for signs are readable. However, the text itself won't change—only the colors around it.
Do I need OptiFine or Sodium to use Color Cone Shaders?
No, Color Cone Shaders runs as a vanilla shader and doesn't require OptiFine or other graphics mods. It works directly with vanilla Minecraft.
How do I turn off the shader if I want to see normal colors again?
Open the Shaders menu and select "None" or the default option to disable all shaders and return to normal Minecraft colors.
