Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select HyShaders Vanilla from the list. You'll see the changes take effect immediately in your world.
Why do my shadows look weird or flicker?
Flickering shadows often happen when settings conflict with your graphics card. Try adjusting the shadow distance or quality in the shader settings menu, or disable any conflicting mods that alter lighting.
Can I use this shader on old computers?
Yes—HyShaders Vanilla is designed to be lightweight. If you still experience lag, lower the shadow quality or distance in the shader options to improve frame rates.
Does this shader work with other mods?
HyShaders Vanilla works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting or block rendering may cause conflicts. Test your mod combination and adjust shader settings if needed.
