Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Butter Shaders after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Butter Shaders in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the shader effects apply immediately to your world.
Why do my shadows look too dark or too soft?
Open the shader settings by clicking the Settings button next to the shader name in Video Settings. Look for shadow-related options to adjust both the darkness and softness of shadows until they match your preference.
Can I make the glow effect less intense?
Yes, access the shader settings and find the bloom or glow intensity slider. Reduce it to tone down the bright glow around light sources and glowing blocks.
The water looks weird or too reflective—how do I fix it?
Check the shader settings for water-specific options like reflection strength or water clarity. Adjust these sliders to find a balance between realistic reflections and visibility of the underwater terrain.
