Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Inkwell Vibrant Shadows once it's installed?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs, select Inkwell Vibrant Shadows from the list, and click Apply or Done. The comic-book shading appears as soon as the pack loads, without restarting your world.
Do I need OptiFine or Iris to use this shader?
Yes. Like any shader pack, it needs a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine, because vanilla Minecraft can't load shader packs by itself. If you don't see a Shader Packs button in Video Settings, your loader isn't running.
Why does Inkwell Vibrant Shadows not show up in my shader list?
The pack file usually isn't in the shaderpacks folder, or it was extracted into a nested folder that the loader can't read. Use the Open Shader Pack Folder button in the Shader Packs menu, put the pack there, and reopen the menu so the list refreshes.
Will this shader lag my low-end PC?
It's built to run on low-end computers. It aims for a stylized cartoon look rather than heavy realistic effects, so it shouldn't cause big performance drops. If it still feels choppy, lower your render distance and close background programs before blaming the pack.
