Cealith Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on Cealith Shaders after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then Shaders, and select Cealith Shaders from the list. Click Apply and the shaders will activate immediately.
Why does my game look the same after enabling the shaders?
Make sure you're in a bright area like the surface during daytime—shadows and lighting effects are most visible outdoors. If you're in a cave or at night, move to an open area to see the shader effects clearly.
Can I make the shadows darker or softer?
Yes, open the shader settings menu (usually by pressing a key like R or through Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options) and look for shadow-related sliders to adjust intensity and softness to your preference.
How do I improve water reflections?
In the shader options, find the water or reflection settings and increase the reflection quality or clarity slider. Higher values make reflections more detailed but may impact performance slightly.
Will Cealith Shaders work with my resource pack?
Yes, Cealith Shaders is compatible with most resource packs. If colors or lighting look wrong, try disabling the resource pack temporarily to confirm it's not causing a conflict, then re-enable and adjust shader settings if needed.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling shaders. What can I do?
Lower the shadow distance, reduce reflection quality, or disable advanced lighting features in the shader options. You can also lower your render distance or video settings to balance visuals and performance.
Do torches and light sources look different with this shader?
Yes, Cealith Shaders adds colored lighting so torches and other light sources cast warm glows onto nearby blocks. You can adjust the intensity of this effect in the shader settings.
Does Cealith Shaders work on servers or only single-player?
Shaders are client-side only, so they work in single-player, LAN worlds, and on servers without any special setup—only you will see the shader effects.
Why do caves look too bright or too dark?
Adjust the ambient lighting or cave brightness slider in the shader options to find a balance that works for you. Some players prefer darker caves for atmosphere, while others want more visibility.
Can I disable shaders for specific biomes or times of day?
Cealith Shaders doesn't have built-in biome-specific toggles, but you can adjust overall settings like sky color and lighting intensity in the shader options to suit your preference across all areas.
