Frequently asked questions

How do I enable AstralCore V2 after installing it?
Load into a world, open the Shaders menu in your video settings, and select AstralCore V2 from the available shader list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my world look too bright or too dark?
Use the lighting intensity adjustment in the shader settings to dial in the brightness to your preference. This is the first setting you should tweak if the overall exposure feels off.
Can I use AstralCore V2 with resource packs?
Yes, AstralCore V2 works with most resource packs, though fantasy-themed or colorful packs will show off the shader's lighting style best. Load your resource pack normally and the shader will layer on top.
My FPS dropped a lot after installing this shader. What can I do?
Start by lowering shadow distance and disabling advanced lighting features in the shader options, then gradually re-enable features to find your performance sweet spot. AstralCore V2 is designed for medium-end hardware, so reducing these settings should bring FPS back up.
