Adjusting Shader Settings While Playing

Opening the In-Game Shader Menu

You do not need to quit to the title screen or relaunch the game to alter how Dreadlight looks. While standing in your world, press Escape to pause, select Options, go to Video Settings, and open your Shader Packs menu. From here, select Shader Options to view the pack's visual settings.

Tuning Visuals in Real Time

Inside the shader options, you can customize individual effects to match your preferred horror style:

• Darkness and Fog: Adjust the crushing darkness and creeping fog to control how difficult it is to see into the distance or explore deep underground.
• Movie Effects: Modify or disable retro effects like film grain and random light flickering if you want a clearer view while building or navigating.

Once you adjust a setting, apply the changes and exit back to the paused game. The visuals update instantly in your active world, allowing you to fine-tune your atmosphere on the fly.
