Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Ethereal Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, go to Shaders, and select Ethereal Shaders from the list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why is my game running slow with this shader?
Try lowering shadow quality or disabling advanced lighting features in the shader options menu. You can also reduce your render distance to improve frame rates while keeping most visual effects.
Can I use Ethereal Shaders with other mods?
Yes, it works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual conflicts. Test your mod combination in a test world first to check for issues.
How do I adjust how bright or dim the lighting looks?
Open the shader options (usually by pressing a hotkey in-game or through Video Settings) and look for Lighting Intensity or Brightness sliders to customize the overall light level.
