Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Ephyrium Shaders in my world?
Open your pause menu, go to Video Settings, and open the Shaders or Shader Packs menu. Click Ephyrium Shaders from the list and wait a moment for the game to reload the lighting.
How do I fix low FPS while using this shader?
Open the shader options menu and switch from the high hardware profile to the medium profile. You can also lower your regular render distance a bit to keep smooth gameplay without losing detailed shadows.
Are caves and nighttime too dark to see without torches?
No, Ephyrium Shaders is designed to keep dark caves and night environments visible rather than pitch black. You can still navigate outdoor terrain at night and spot hazards underground, though torches help brighten up details.
Why do torches and bright blocks have a glow around them?
That glow comes from the soft bloom effect applied to bright light sources and torches. If a room in your base looks overly bright, spacing out your light sources will give your build a cleaner look.
