CRShaders FAQ

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 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.

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.

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.

CRShaders uses custom ambient lighting that keeps nighttime and shaded areas warm and gentle rather than pitch black. This is part of the storybook style, not a lighting bug.

No. Shader packs only change how the game is drawn on your own screen, so it doesn't need to be on the server. Only players who have it installed and turned on will see the Ghibli style.

It looks best in bright daytime landscapes with grassy fields, trees and buildings under an open sky. The vibrant colors, soft shadows and painted clouds all show up together there.

All shader packs add extra work for your graphics card, so some FPS drop is normal. Lowering your render distance helps. You can also switch the shader pack off in the Shader Packs menu when you need maximum performance, then turn it back on for exploring or screenshots.

Usually yes, since the resource pack changes the textures and CRShaders changes the colors, lighting and sky on top of them. Simple or soft-colored packs tend to suit the animated-film style better than highly realistic ones.

Pick a bright daytime scene and include some sky so the painted clouds are visible. Press F1 to hide the HUD, then press F2 to save the screenshot.
