Ember Shaders FAQ

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, Ember Shaders applies its lighting effects across all dimensions, though the Nether's unique lighting may look different from the Overworld. The sky lighting and bloom effects adapt to each dimension's environment.

Open the shader settings and find the bloom or glow intensity slider, then lower it to reduce how much light spreads from bright sources. You can fine-tune this to keep some glow while preventing it from washing out your screen.

This is usually caused by bloom intensity being too high—lower the bloom setting in the shader options to make glowing blocks more visible without oversaturation. You may also need to adjust exposure or brightness settings depending on your monitor.

Ember Shaders includes separate controls for day and night sky lighting in its settings, allowing you to brighten nights or tone down days independently. Experiment with these sliders to match your preferred lighting balance.

Yes, shaders always use more resources than vanilla, but Ember Shaders is optimized for low-end hardware and should run on basic computers without major lag. Performance depends on your render distance, resolution, and other settings.

Water reflections in Ember Shaders only render at certain viewing angles to save performance—this is intentional and not a bug. If reflections are completely absent, check that the water reflection setting is enabled in your shader options.
