Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on dynamic lights for items in my hand?
Dynamic lighting should activate automatically when you hold a glowing item like a torch, lantern, or glow berries. If it's not working, check that the shader is properly enabled in your video settings under the shaders menu.
Which items work as light sources with this mod?
Any item that naturally glows in vanilla Minecraft will emit light when held, including torches, lanterns, glow berries, and similar light-emitting blocks. The mod uses the game's existing light values, so items that don't glow normally won't produce light.
Does Dynamic Lights Shaders work in multiplayer?
Yes, the mod works in multiplayer servers and single-player worlds. Other players will see the light from items you're holding, and you'll see light from items they hold.
Why is my fps dropping when I use this shader?
Dynamic Lights Shaders is optimized to have minimal performance impact, but older computers may still see frame drops. Try lowering your render distance or disabling other visual mods to improve performance.
