Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Forrest Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, navigate to Shaders, and select Forrest Shaders from the list. The sunbeams and lighting effects will activate immediately in forest biomes.
Why don't I see sunbeams in my forest?
Sunbeams only appear during daytime and require direct sunlight to reach trees—they won't show in dense caves or at night. Make sure you're in a forest biome with clear sky access above the canopy.
Can I use Forrest Shaders with other shader packs?
No, only one shader pack can be active at a time. You'll need to disable Forrest Shaders to use a different shader, or vice versa.
Does Forrest Shaders work with resource packs?
Yes, Forrest Shaders is compatible with most resource packs and will preserve their textures while adding the lighting effects on top.
