Enabling Dynamic Lights Shaders in Video Settings

Activating the Shaderpack

To turn on Dynamic Lights Shaders, open the game menu and navigate to your standard shader controls:

1. Press Escape and select Options.

2. Click on Video Settings and open the Shader Packs (or Shaders) menu provided by your shader loader.

3. Locate and select Dynamic Lights Shaders from the list of available packs.

4. Click Done or Apply to confirm your selection and return to the game.

Verifying the Handheld Glow

Once the shader is active, you can immediately test its functionality in dark surroundings:

1.

2. Place a light source, such as a torch, into your character's hand.

3. Observe the space directly surrounding your character. The area will illuminate instantly without requiring you to place the item onto a surface.

Because the shader preserves the standard vanilla look of the game, you can navigate dark environments without heavy visual changes or altered textures. Swapping away to a non-glowing item will extinguish the light immediately.
