Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Banana Shaders?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs and click Banana Shaders in the list so it is selected instead of OFF. Then click Done and let the game reload. Shader packs need a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine, so the Shader Packs button only appears if one is installed.
How can I tell if Banana Shaders is actually working?
Wait for a sunset and look for warmer tones in the sky and softer-looking clouds. Then stand by the ocean and check for gentle reflections on the water. Daytime should also look brighter and more colorful than vanilla in every biome.
I picked Banana Shaders but my game looks exactly the same, what's wrong?
Go back to the Shader Packs screen and confirm Banana Shaders is highlighted as the active pack, not OFF. Also confirm the pack is in your shaderpacks folder and that your shader loader is running. If it still looks vanilla, restart the game and compare a sunset with shaders on and off.
Will Banana Shaders lag on my low-end laptop?
It is built to run smoothly on low-end and potato hardware, so most weak PCs can use it. If your framerate dips, lower your render distance and close other programs running in the background. Then toggle the shader off and on to see how much it actually costs you.
