Verify Color Preservation Setting

EV Enhanced Visuals is built to keep Minecraft's original block palette intact. Check the shader settings to confirm color preservation is enabled—this should be the default.

Disable Color Grading (If Present)

If your shader menu includes color grading, saturation, or tone mapping options:

  • Ensure saturation is at neutral (100% or 0 offset depending on the slider)
  • Disable any color temperature or tint filters
  • Turn off bloom if it's washing out block colors

Check Lighting Without Altering Hue

The shader should only affect *brightness and shadow softness*, not the actual colors of blocks. If grass looks too yellow, stone too blue, or wood too orange, a color setting is interfering.

Reset to Defaults

If colors seem wrong, reset the shader to default settings. EV Enhanced Visuals prioritizes vanilla aesthetics, so defaults should preserve the original look perfectly. Test in different biomes to confirm colors match your unshaded world.
