Once Bloho Shaders is placed in your shaderpacks folder alongside a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine, you can switch it on directly from your pause menu and confirm its lighting and reflection features are working properly.
Selecting the Pack in Video Settings
1. Open the pause menu in Minecraft and click Options, then Video Settings.
2. Open the Shaders or Shader Packs menu provided by your loader.
3. Click Bloho Shaders in the list and apply your changes. Give the game a moment to compile the pack's GLSL and HLSL shader code and reload the world.
Checking Reflections and Surface Lighting
To confirm everything loaded cleanly, walk to a natural body of water or pour a water bucket near a few smooth or polished vanilla blocks, such as polished andesite, polished diorite, or smooth stone. View the surfaces at a shallow angle under sunlight or nearby lanterns.
You should see sharp, detailed reflections cast across both the water surface and the polished blocks, while the world keeps its core blocky look. Look across surrounding terrain as well: the pack's raymarching materials calculate how light hits different block textures, giving illuminated surfaces clear contrast against shaded areas.
