Eerie Craft Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select Eerie Craft Shaders from the list. Click Apply, and the shader will activate immediately on your world.
The shader is too dark and I can't see anything. What do I do?
Open the shader settings menu (usually by clicking the Settings button in the Shaders screen) and reduce the shadow intensity or increase the overall brightness slider. You can also switch to a lighter preset profile if available.
Will this shader work with other mods?
Eerie Craft Shaders is generally compatible with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual conflicts. Test with your mod list to confirm compatibility.
My FPS dropped a lot after installing the shader. How do I fix it?
Switch to the medium or low-end preset profile in the shader settings, disable bloom effects, or reduce shadow quality. If performance is still poor, your hardware may not meet the minimum requirements for this shader.
Can I use this shader in the Nether or End?
Yes, the shader works in all dimensions, though the horror atmosphere is most effective in dark caves and during nighttime. The Nether's existing red tones will blend with the shader's dark aesthetic.
Why do my light sources look too bright and washed out?
The bloom effect may be set too high. Open shader settings and reduce the bloom intensity slider to find a balance between glow and visibility.
Does the shader affect performance differently on different graphics cards?
Yes—NVIDIA and AMD cards may perform differently with the same settings. If you experience stuttering, try lowering shadow resolution or disabling foliage movement in the shader options.
Can I customize individual settings or do I have to use presets?
You can customize individual settings like shadow intensity, bloom, and foliage movement through the shader settings menu without being locked to a preset.
The trees and grass are moving too much and it's distracting. Can I turn that off?
Yes, open the shader settings and look for the foliage movement or wind effect slider, then reduce it or disable it completely.
Does this shader work with ray tracing or do I need a special graphics card?
Eerie Craft Shaders uses traditional rasterization, not ray tracing, so it works on most modern graphics cards without requiring specialized hardware.
