Enable or Disable Specific Visual Effects

Access Effect Toggles

Open shader settings (pause menu → Options → Video Settings → Shaders → shader config). The menu displays toggles and sliders for individual effects.

Common Effects to Control

• Light Bloom: Glow around torches, fire, and bright blocks—disable for a cleaner look or to improve performance
• Soft Shadows: Toggle shadow rendering entirely or adjust softness
• Color Grading: Warm/cool tone adjustments that define the fantasy aesthetic
• Sky Effects: Cloud rendering and atmospheric clarity
• Ambient Lighting: Overall world brightness independent of direct light sources

Customize Your Look

Enable effects you enjoy and disable those that don't match your preference. For example:

• Keep bloom for atmospheric builds
• Disable it for technical or minimalist projects
• Adjust color grading to shift between warm daytime and cool nighttime feels

Performance vs. Visuals

Each effect has a performance cost. Disabling unnecessary effects on low-end devices frees up resources without sacrificing the shader's core appeal.
