Adjust Shader Brightness and Contrast

Access Shader Settings

Open the shader options menu by pressing the designated key (usually Shift + O in OptiFine or through the Iris settings screen). Navigate to the EnS HAder Shaders configuration panel.

Modify Lighting Values

Look for brightness, contrast, and exposure sliders. Since EnS HAder uses warm colored lighting, you may want to increase brightness if caves feel too dark, or reduce it if the pastel tones feel washed out in daylight.

Fine-Tune Bloom Intensity

Locate the bloom or glow settings. Reduce bloom strength if torches and lanterns create too much haze, or increase it for a dreamier atmosphere. This is especially useful if you're playing in a specific biome where the lighting doesn't match your preference.

Test Your Changes

Move between different lighting conditions—caves, forests, and open sky—to ensure your adjustments feel balanced across all environments. The pastel color scheme should remain visible without becoming oversaturated or too dim.

Save Configuration

Confirm and save your settings. They will persist across game sessions.
