Because ELASION Shaders is an experimental pack made specifically for the Oculus shader mod, running it under a different setup or misplacing the files can stop the Alpha shading from appearing properly.
Checking Shader Loader Compatibility
If the Shader Packs button is missing from Video Settings, or if the shader fails to compile and falls back to plain vanilla lighting, check your mod list first.
1. Verify that Oculus is installed and active in your client.
2. Avoid using unrelated shader loaders, as ELASION Shaders is built specifically around Oculus.
3. Open the shaderpacks folder from Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs and make sure you did not place the shader inside resourcepacks or mods by mistake, and check that it is not nested inside an extra outer folder.
Handling Experimental Visual Behavior
As an experimental pack, certain lighting combinations may occasionally look unusual in specific spots.
1. Open Video Settings > Shader Packs and reload the pack by toggling shaders off and back on.
2. Open Shader Pack Settings and adjust individual lighting preferences to see whether a specific toggle resolves the visual quirk while keeping the classic Alpha look.
