Frequently asked questions

Do I need to restart my world after installing Better Lights?
No, resource packs take effect immediately without requiring a world restart. Simply load into your world and the enhanced torch and lantern textures will be visible right away.
Why do my torches still look vanilla?
Check that Better Lights is actually enabled in your resource pack list—it should appear in the 'Selected' column, not the 'Available' column. If it's enabled, try moving it higher in the pack order, as packs listed lower may override its textures.
Can I use Better Lights with shader mods?
Yes, Better Lights works alongside shader mods like Optifine or SEUS, though the visual impact may vary depending on how the shader handles lighting and textures. Test it in your world to see if the combination looks good to you.
Does this pack affect performance?
Better Lights has minimal performance impact since it only replaces textures for torches and lanterns without adding new blocks or complex models. You should see no noticeable FPS drop on most systems.
