Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Glacier Shaders?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Glacier Shaders in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the visual changes take effect immediately.
Why is my game still laggy with Glacier Shaders?
Check your Video Settings and lower your render distance or disable advanced lighting features in the shader options. Glacier Shaders is optimized for older hardware, but extremely high render distances or other mods can still cause lag—try reducing them one at a time to find the balance.
Can I use Glacier Shaders with other mods?
Yes, Glacier Shaders works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting, blocks, or world generation may cause visual conflicts. Test your mod combination in a test world first to check for compatibility issues.
How do I adjust the brightness in Glacier Shaders?
Open the shader options menu (usually by pressing a hotkey like Right Shift while in-game, or through Video Settings), then look for brightness or exposure sliders to customize the lighting to your preference.
