How to Adjust End Crystal Glow and Shadows

Beyond changing models and colors, you can control the lighting profile and the ground shadows projected beneath end crystals.

Setting Custom Light Levels

By default, crystals emit a fixed amount of brightness. You can change this behavior directly:

1. Open the mod options menu.

2. Locate the Light level setting.

3. Adjust the value to make your crystals glow brightly in dark caves and bases, or lower it if you prefer them to match dim ambient lighting.

Customizing Crystal Shadows

You can also modify the circular shadow that appears on the block beneath a floating crystal:

  • Shadow Size: Adjust this slider to expand or shrink the footprint of the shadow. You can match the shadow to custom crystal scale changes to keep proportions visually consistent.
  • Shadow Alpha: Change the opacity of the shadow. Lowering the alpha makes the shadow subtle or completely invisible, while raising it produces a dark, sharp shadow directly beneath the crystal.
