Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then select Danix Low End Shaders from the list and click Apply. You should see the visual changes take effect immediately in your world.
Why is my frame rate still dropping even though this is a low-end shader?
Check your shader settings—lower Shadow Distance and disable advanced features like Screen Space Ambient Occlusion if you're on very weak hardware. Also ensure your render distance isn't set too high, as that affects performance more than the shader itself.
The caves are still too dark to see. How do I fix this?
Go to Shader Options and increase the Ambient Light or Cave Brightness slider to make underground areas more visible without losing atmosphere. You can also carry torches or use night vision potions as normal.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, Danix Low End Shaders works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual conflicts. Test your mod combination in a test world first.
