Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Ember Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Ember Shaders from the list. The shader will activate immediately and you'll see the lighting and bloom effects take effect.
Why do my water reflections look blurry or unclear?
Check your shader settings for water reflection quality—lowering this setting reduces clarity to improve performance, while raising it makes reflections sharper. If reflections aren't showing at all, make sure the water reflection feature isn't disabled in the shader options.
Can I use Ember Shaders with other mods?
Ember Shaders works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual conflicts. Test compatibility by loading your modpack and checking if blocks render correctly; if not, you may need to adjust shader settings or use a different shader.
My game is lagging with Ember Shaders enabled—how do I fix it?
Lower bloom intensity, reduce water reflection quality, and disable sky lighting effects in the shader settings to improve performance. If your computer is low-end, also lower your render distance and turn off fancy graphics in Video Settings.
