Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Incremental Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, go to Shaders, and select Incremental Shaders from the list. The shader will activate immediately and you'll see the lighting changes take effect.
Why does my world look too dark with this shader?
Check the Lighting Intensity setting in the shader options—you can increase it to brighten caves and indoor areas. You can also adjust Ambient Occlusion strength to control how dark shadows appear.
How do I make torches and lanterns glow with color?
Colored lighting is enabled by default, but make sure the Colored Light option isn't disabled in your shader settings. Place light sources near blocks you want to illuminate, and the colored glow will spread naturally across nearby surfaces.
Does this shader work with other mods?
Incremental Shaders works with most mods, but custom blocks from other mods may not receive colored lighting effects unless the mod is specifically designed to support shaders. Mods that add custom light sources work best.
