Adjust Shader Brightness and Contrast for Your Setup

Access Shader Settings

Open the shader options menu by pressing the designated key (usually accessed through your video settings or shader menu). Look for brightness, contrast, and exposure sliders.

Optimize for Your Monitor

Start with default settings, then adjust brightness if your world appears too dark or washed out. Increase contrast slightly to make block details pop without creating harsh shadows. If you're playing on a low-end PC, keep adjustments modest—extreme changes can impact performance.

Fine-tune Lighting Balance

Pay attention to how caves and outdoor areas look. The shader should provide soft, realistic lighting without making interiors too dim to navigate. If torchlight feels too bright compared to ambient light, reduce the torch brightness multiplier if available.

Test in Different Conditions

Visit both day and night environments, and check underground areas. Reload your world after changes to see the full effect. If frame rate drops after adjustments, revert to lighter settings—this shader prioritizes performance, so heavy customization may reduce smoothness on budget hardware.
