Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Lumen_NM Shaders in game?
Pause the game, go to Options, open Video Settings, and navigate to your shader selection menu. Click on Lumen_NM Shaders in the list to apply the lighting and water changes to your world.
Will Lumen_NM Shaders lag my low-end PC?
No, it is designed for low-spec setups and uses subtle world-lighting adjustments rather than heavy visual effects. This keeps system resource usage light so your gameplay stays fast and smooth.
What does the clean water system actually change?
It reworks water coloration across oceans, rivers, and lakes to give them a much clearer look. Because the surface is less murky, you can easily scout underwater terrain from above without diving in.
Why does my water still look cloudy or unchanged?
First, confirm that Lumen_NM Shaders is actively selected in your Video Settings rather than set to off. If it is active, check your Resource Packs menu, as custom water textures from other packs can interfere with the shader's water coloration.
