Haze Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings, find the Shaders option, and select Haze Shaders from the list. The shader will activate immediately, and you'll see colored lighting and bloom effects take effect.
My game is lagging with Haze Shaders on. What should I do?
Lower your shader quality setting in the video options—switch from High to Medium or Low depending on your device. You can also reduce render distance or disable water reflections if performance is still poor.
Why do my torches and lava look dim instead of glowing?
Check that bloom is enabled in your shader settings and that your graphics quality isn't set to Low, which may reduce bloom intensity. If bloom still looks wrong, try adjusting the bloom intensity slider if your shader menu offers one.
Can I use Haze Shaders on my phone with PojavLauncher?
Yes, Haze Shaders is optimized for PojavLauncher on mobile devices. Use the Low or Medium quality setting to keep performance smooth on phones.
Do water reflections work in all bodies of water?
Water reflections work on oceans, rivers, and lakes, but the effect depends on your shader quality setting and whether reflections are enabled in your options. Higher quality settings show more detailed reflections.
Will Haze Shaders change how my builds look?
Haze Shaders keeps the vanilla block appearance but adds colored lighting, shadows, and bloom around light sources, giving your builds a more atmospheric look without changing their core style.
Can I use Haze Shaders with other mods?
Haze Shaders works with most mods, but incompatibilities can occur with mods that heavily modify rendering or lighting. Test it with your mod list to check for conflicts.
Why do shadows look too dark or too light?
Adjust your brightness setting in video options, or check if your shader quality is set appropriately for your device—Low settings may render shadows differently than High settings.
Does Haze Shaders work with HOLY Renderer?
Yes, Haze Shaders is compatible with HOLY Renderer and should work smoothly when both are installed together.
How do I make colored lighting brighter in specific areas?
Place more light sources like torches, lanterns, or glowstone near the area you want to illuminate—colored lighting responds to the number and type of light blocks around it, creating a brighter, more colorful effect.
