Frequently asked questions

Does flat lighting work with shaders?
Flat Lighting Mod is designed for players using vanilla rendering without shaders. If you have shaders enabled, the mod's effect may be overridden or produce unexpected results, so it's best used with shaders disabled.
Will flat lighting affect my FPS?
Flat Lighting Mod has minimal performance impact since it only modifies how existing lighting is rendered rather than adding new calculations. You should see no noticeable FPS change in most cases.
Does this mod work with resource packs?
Yes, Flat Lighting Mod works alongside resource packs. The mod removes shading from block faces, so your resource pack's textures will display without the default side-darkening effect.
Can I use flat lighting in multiplayer?
Flat Lighting Mod is client-side only, so you can use it on multiplayer servers without needing the server to have it installed. Other players won't see the flat lighting effect on their end.
