Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Gnome Shaders after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Gnome Shaders from the Shader Packs dropdown. The shaders will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my water look weird or too bright?
Water clarity and reflection strength can be adjusted in the shader settings menu. Try lowering the reflection intensity if the water appears oversaturated, or increase clarity if it looks too murky.
Can I use Gnome Shaders with other mods?
Gnome Shaders is compatible with most mods, but mods that heavily alter lighting or water rendering may cause conflicts. Test your mod combination in a new world first to check for issues.
My FPS drops a lot when I enable the shaders. What can I do?
Lower the shader quality settings or reduce shadow distance in the shader options menu. You can also check the performance optimization guide for tips on adjusting render distance and disabling expensive effects.
