Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Luminary Shaders after installing it?
Open your shader settings menu (usually accessed through Video Settings > Shaders in-game), locate Luminary Shaders in your shader folder, and select it. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my fog look too thick and I can't see anything?
Fog density is configurable in the shader settings menu. Look for fog or atmosphere options and reduce the density slider until you reach visibility you're comfortable with—different biomes may need different settings.
Can I use Luminary Shaders with mods that add custom blocks or biomes?
Yes, Luminary works with most content mods, though custom blocks may not receive the same detailed lighting as vanilla blocks. If you notice visual issues with specific mod content, check if the shader has biome-specific settings you can adjust.
My water looks broken or isn't rendering waves properly—what do I do?
First, try disabling and re-enabling the shader. If waves still don't appear, check your shader settings for water quality or wave geometry options and ensure they're enabled; also verify your graphics driver is up to date.
