Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Hex Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select Hex Shaders from your shader list. Click Apply and the shaders will activate immediately.
Why does my game look washed out or too dark with Hex Shaders on?
This is usually a color grading mismatch. Open the shader settings menu (typically by pressing a key like Right Shift or through Video Settings), find the brightness or color tone sliders, and adjust them to match your preference and monitor.
Can I use Hex Shaders on a really old or low-end PC?
Yes—Hex Shaders is specifically optimized for low-end and potato PCs. If you still experience lag, lower your render distance, disable clouds, or reduce other video settings like particles and entity shadows in the shader options.
How do I get better shadows in my world?
Check the shader settings for shadow distance, shadow quality, or shadow intensity sliders and increase them. Be aware that higher shadow settings will impact frame rate, so adjust gradually and test performance.
