Adjust Lighting Intensity and Color Temperature

Access Shader Settings

Press the shader settings key (default: K) while in-game to open the Ethereal Shaders configuration menu. This menu lets you fine-tune how the mod lights your world.

Modify Lighting Parameters

Look for sliders controlling:

• Brightness: Increase or decrease overall light levels in your world
• Contrast: Make shadows deeper or lighter relative to lit areas
• Color Temperature: Shift lighting toward warm (orange/yellow) or cool (blue) tones
• Saturation: Control how vivid colors appear under the shader's lighting

Apply Changes in Real-Time

Adjustments apply immediately as you move sliders—no restart needed. Test your changes in different biomes and times of day. Caves and underground areas will show the most dramatic lighting differences.

If you want to return to defaults, most shader menus include a reset button. Save your preferred settings so they persist when you reload the world.
