Crossfrog’s Soft Outlines Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the outlines after installing the shader?
Load into a world, open your shader options menu (usually accessed through Video Settings), and make sure the shader pack is selected and active. The outlines should appear immediately around all blocks and entities.
Can I change the color of the outlines?
Yes, most outline color settings are found in the shader options menu under a section for outline or edge customization. You can usually adjust hue, saturation, and brightness to match your preferred aesthetic.
Why are my outlines too thick or too thin?
Look for an outline width or intensity slider in your shader settings and adjust it to your preference. If outlines look jagged or pixelated, increasing the intensity slightly often smooths them out.
Do the outlines work on mobs and entities or just blocks?
The shader applies outlines to both blocks and entities like mobs, items, and armor stands, giving your entire world a consistent cartoon appearance.
Is this shader compatible with other shader packs?
No, you can only have one shader pack active at a time. If you want to use Soft Outlines Shaders, you'll need to disable any other shader packs you have installed.
Will this mod work with resource packs?
Yes, the shader works alongside resource packs without conflict. Your resource pack's textures will display with the soft outlines applied on top.
My outlines disappeared or look wrong after updating. What do I do?
Try resetting the shader settings to default in the options menu, then reapply your customizations. If that doesn't work, reload your world or restart the game.
Does this shader work on servers or only single-player?
The shader works in both single-player and multiplayer worlds, though performance may vary depending on your system and the server's render distance.
Can I disable outlines on specific block types?
Most shader packs don't offer per-block outline control, but you can adjust the overall outline intensity or color to make certain blocks blend better with your world.
Why is my frame rate dropping with this shader enabled?
Try lowering the outline intensity or reducing your render distance in Video Settings. If performance is still poor, check that your graphics driver is up to date and that no other demanding mods are running.
