Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on CRShaders?
Go to Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs, select CRShaders from the list, then click Apply or Done. The world should reload with softer shadows and brighter, animated-film colors.
CRShaders isn't showing up in my shader pack list, what did I do wrong?
CRShaders is a shader pack, not a regular mod, so it belongs in the shaderpacks folder, not the mods folder. Use the Open Shader Pack Folder button on the Shader Packs screen, put the file there, and reopen the menu.
How can I tell if the Ghibli look is actually working?
Stand somewhere open in daytime with grass, trees or buildings in view. Shadows should have smooth, soft edges and colors should look clean and vibrant. The sky should look painted, with soft clouds instead of the plain vanilla sky.
Why are my shadows blurry instead of sharp?
That's intentional. CRShaders uses soft shadows to give grass, trees and buildings a smooth, hand-drawn look. If you want crisp, realistic shadows, you need a different shader pack.
