Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Kinescope in the list and click it to activate—you'll see the cinematic effect apply immediately to your world.
Why does my game lag when I enable Kinescope?
Shaders are GPU-intensive; try lowering your render distance, disabling advanced shadow options in the shader settings, or reducing your overall graphics settings. Check the Optimize Shader Performance guide for detailed tweaks.
Can I adjust how dark the shadows are?
Yes—open the shader options menu (usually by pressing a key like Right Shift or through Video Settings), then look for shadow intensity or shadow distance sliders to make shadows softer or more pronounced.
How do I make water look more reflective?
In the shader settings, find water or reflection options and increase the reflection strength or water clarity values; you can also adjust wave intensity to change how dynamic the water appears.
