Setting Up Shaders Alongside Dark Mode

Enabling Shaders for the Recommended Experience

Default Dark Mode is specifically recommended to be played alongside shaders to enhance lighting, contrast, and visual presentation across your world.

1. Press Esc to open the pause menu and select Options.

2. Select Video Settings and click on the Shaders button.

3. In the Shaders menu, select an installed shader pack from the list on the left side.

4.

Adjusting In-Game Contrast

Because both shaders and dark mode alter your visual display, you may want to balance the brightness so your dark interface remains easy to read:

1. In Video Settings, check your Brightness slider.

2. Adjust the slider upward toward Bright if the combination of a dark HUD and dim shader environments makes item slots hard to distinguish.

3. Return to the game, open your inventory, and inspect your item icons against the dark background to ensure visibility suits your setup.
