Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your shader settings menu in-game (usually accessible from Video Settings), find Adaptive Outline in your shader list, and select it. The outlines should appear immediately on all blocks and entities.
Why are my outlines barely visible during the day?
Bright daylight can wash out the outlines since they adapt to lighting. Try increasing the outline thickness in the shader settings, or enable the brightness boost option if available to make them stand out more in sunlight.
Can I make the outlines thicker or thinner?
Yes, open the shader options and look for the outline thickness or width slider. Adjust it to your preference—higher values create bolder outlines, while lower values make them subtle.
My outlines are flickering or disappearing. What's wrong?
Flickering usually happens when the shader conflicts with other visual mods or when your graphics card struggles with the effect. Try disabling other shaders or visual enhancement mods, and lower the outline thickness to reduce the load.
