Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Aloo Shaders?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs and click AlooShaders in the list, then click Done. This menu comes from a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine, so you need one installed for the menu to appear.
How can I tell if Aloo Shaders is actually working?
Look at a torch, lantern or glowstone block, which should give off a noticeably warmer light color. Shadows across the terrain should also look softer, and sunlight and moonlight should feel clearly different from vanilla.
Does Aloo Shaders change my block textures?
No. It keeps the original block textures and only adds smooth lighting effects on top, so your world keeps its classic blocky look.
Will caves and forests be too dark to see with this shader?
Aloo Shaders is designed so caves and dark forests stay easy to explore. It adjusts visibility for clarity during both day and night, but you should still place torches or lanterns to keep mobs from spawning.
