Access Shader Settings

Open the shader options menu while in-game by pressing the designated shader settings key (usually accessed through your graphics/shader menu). Look for the CelShade Shaders configuration panel.

Modify Outline Parameters

Locate the outline thickness slider or value field. Increasing this setting makes black outlines around blocks, mobs, and items more prominent and visible from distance. Decreasing it creates a subtler, cleaner look.

If available, adjust the outline darkness or intensity separately from thickness. Some versions allow you to control whether outlines appear on specific elements (blocks only, mobs only, or both).

Fine-Tune for Your Preference

Test your changes in different lighting conditions—bright daylight, caves, and night scenes. Outlines may appear differently depending on surrounding brightness. Start with moderate settings and adjust incrementally rather than extreme values, which can make the world look cluttered or too faint.

Save your configuration once satisfied. Changes apply immediately without restarting the game.
