Frequently asked questions

How do I actually turn on Lucid Clarity Shaders in game?
Open Options > Video Settings and go to the Shader Packs menu (Iris) or the Shaders menu (OptiFine). Click Lucid Clarity in the list, then hit Apply or Done. The lighting should change right away. If the pack isn't listed, check that it's in your shaderpacks folder and reopen the menu.
Do I need Iris or OptiFine to use Lucid Clarity?
Yes. Lucid Clarity is a shader pack, not a standalone mod, so it needs a shader loader like Iris or OptiFine to run. Without one, the game has no way to load it and everything stays vanilla.
I selected Lucid Clarity but nothing looks different, what's wrong?
Make sure you clicked Apply and that shaders aren't toggled off. Iris lets you toggle shaders with a keybind, which is K by default. Also check that the pack shows up as active in the shader menu and not just highlighted. Since Lucid Clarity is a subtle Vanilla+ pack, compare against shaders off to spot the softer lighting and cleaner skies.
Will Lucid Clarity run on my old laptop or potato PC?
That's what it's built for. It brightens the world with soft lighting and clears up the skies without heavy effects, so it's meant to keep frame rates smooth on weak hardware. Very old or integrated graphics can still lose some FPS compared to no shaders at all.
