Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shadows after installing the pack?
Load the resource pack in your world settings by going to Options > Resource Packs, finding Smooth Entity Shadows in the available list, and moving it to the active side. The soft shadows will appear immediately on all mobs.
Do the shadows work on all mobs or just some?
The shadows work on all mobs including animals, monsters, and dropped items on the ground. Every entity that casts a vanilla shadow will now have a soft, circular shadow instead.
Will this slow down my game?
No, this pack actually keeps performance smooth because it uses simple texture replacements instead of heavy lighting mods or shader systems. It works well even on older computers.
Can I use this with other resource packs at the same time?
Yes, you can stack Smooth Entity Shadows with other packs by loading multiple packs in your resource pack list. Place Smooth Entity Shadows higher or lower in the priority order depending on which pack's other features you want to show through.
