How do I get more FPS with FESGlow Shaders?
Open your shader options menu and change the performance profile down to the Low or Potato preset. These lower profiles cut back on heavy lighting and shadow effects so the game runs smoothly on weaker hardware.
What is the difference between the Potato, Low, Medium, and High profiles?
Potato and Low prioritize high frame rates and clear visibility by simplifying shadows and lighting effects. Medium and High turn up custom shadows, colored lighting, and fantasy tones for fuller visual detail.
Is FESGlow Shaders too dark or distracting for PvP fights?
No, it uses bright cartoon visuals designed to keep targets easy to see during combat. If shadows ever feel distracting in an arena, you can adjust the custom shadow settings or switch to a lower preset for cleaner visibility.
Do multiplayer servers need FESGlow Shaders installed for me to use it?
No, shaders only affect how your own client renders graphics and lighting. You can use it on any survival or PvP server without the server needing anything installed.
Why are shadows missing in my world?
You probably have the Potato or Low profile active, which disables or reduces shadows to save performance. Switch to the Medium or High preset, or open the custom shadow settings in the shader options to enable them.
What settings should I use for recording videos and replay clips?
Select the High preset to enable clean shadows, vibrant colored lighting, and full fantasy tones. If you are rendering a saved replay clip where live FPS matters less, using the highest profile makes builds and scenes stand out clearly.
Why do my blocks look overly bright and cartoonish?
Cartoon visual tones and fantasy color grading are core features meant to illuminate the world and make every block stand out. You can adjust the lighting and tone options inside the shader settings if you want a softer look.
How does colored lighting affect my builds?
Light sources cast colored illumination across nearby blocks rather than plain lighting, adding vibrant contrast to structures. You can tune the colored lighting and shadow settings in the shader menu to fit your build's theme.
Can I use FESGlow Shaders with PvP texture packs?
Yes, the shader applies its lighting, shadows, and cartoon tones over whatever resource pack you currently have active. Pairing it with clean PvP textures works well because both keep block outlines and enemy players easy to read.
How do I fix my visuals if I messed up the custom shadow or lighting settings?
Go back into the shader options menu and re-select one of the standard presets like Low, Medium, or High, or use the reset option. Applying a preset restores balanced lighting and shadow values right away.
