Enabling the Shader Pack in Video Settings

Activating the Shader

To experience dynamic handheld lighting and bloom effects, you must ensure the shader pack is loaded in your game settings through your preferred shader mod (such as Iris or OptiFine).

1. Press Esc to open the Game Menu and select Options.

2. Navigate to Video Settings and open the Shader Packs (or Shaders) menu.

3. Locate Dynamic Light Shaders in the list of available packs.

4. Click the pack name to select it, then click Apply or Done to let the game reload the pipeline.

5. Return to your active world.

Verifying in the World

Once back in the game, verify that the pack is functioning properly:

• Switch the time to night or enter a dark room.
• Hold a torch, lantern, or glowstone in your hand. The blocks around you should immediately brighten.
• Look directly at a placed light source. It should display a soft bloom effect rather than a harsh vanilla cut-off, creating a brighter, warmer glow while keeping all block textures in the traditional vanilla visual style.
