Activating Ember Shaders in Video Settings

Opening the Shader Selection Menu

To enable Ember Shaders, you need an active shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine installed in your Minecraft client.

1. Press Esc to open the game menu and click Options.

2. Select Video Settings, then choose Shader Packs (or Shaders, depending on your loader).

3. If you have not placed the shader pack yet, click Open Shader Pack Folder to bring up your system's directory, place the Ember Shaders file inside, and return to the game.

Applying the Shader Pack

Once the folder updates, locate Ember Shaders in the on-screen list.

1. Click on Ember Shaders to highlight it.

2. Click Apply or Done to reload your world's rendering engine.

3. Return to your game.

You should immediately see clean sky lighting during daytime and a fresh visual finish that retains the classic look of vanilla blocks and mobs. If the world looks unchanged, return to the menu to ensure the shader pack is actively selected rather than set to "Off".
