Floor IT Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on Floor IT Shaders?
Load the shader pack through your shader settings menu in-game, then select Floor IT Shaders from the available packs. Once applied, all regular terrain blocks will immediately flatten to ground level while block entities remain standing.
What's the difference between blocks that flatten and blocks that don't?
Regular terrain blocks like dirt, stone, and grass flatten to the ground, while block entities (chests, furnaces, doors, signs, etc.) stay in their normal positions above the flattened floor. This is what creates the cursed, squashed look.
Will my structures look weird with Floor IT on?
Yes, most structures will look distorted since walls and builds made of regular blocks get flattened, but block entities like doors and chests remain standing. You can work around this by building primarily with block entities or designing structures that work with the flattened aesthetic.
Can I still mine and place blocks normally?
Yes, mining and placing blocks works exactly as normal—the shader only changes how blocks appear visually, not how they function. The flattening is purely a visual effect.
Does Floor IT Shaders work with other shader packs?
No, Floor IT Shaders is a complete shader pack replacement, so you can only use it or another shader pack at a time. You'll need to switch between them in your shader settings.
Will this mod lag my computer?
Floor IT Shaders is designed to run on low-end hardware with minimal performance impact, making it ideal for potato computers. The flattening effect is lightweight compared to most shader packs.
How do I navigate when everything is flattened?
Use landmarks like standing block entities, water, and the sky to orient yourself, and rely on your map or coordinates more than usual. Building tall structures with block entities can help create navigation markers in the flattened world.
Can I use Floor IT Shaders for survival mode or just creative?
You can use it in any game mode, but it's most fun for challenge runs or funny videos in survival mode where the flattened terrain creates unexpected gameplay obstacles.
What happens to water and lava with this shader?
Water and lava flatten along with regular terrain blocks, creating a strange pooling effect at ground level. This can make navigation tricky and creates opportunities for funny moments in videos.
Does Floor IT work with mods that add new blocks?
Yes, new blocks from other mods will flatten just like vanilla blocks do, since the shader affects block rendering rather than specific block types. Block entities from mods will also remain standing as normal.
