Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Luminous Classic Atmosphere from the list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why do my shadows look too dark or too light?
Open the shader settings menu (usually accessible from video settings) and adjust the shadow intensity slider to match your preference. You can also tweak sunlight brightness separately if caves feel too dim.
Does this shader work in the Nether and End?
Yes, the shader includes unique lighting for all three dimensions—the Nether has warmer tones, the End has cooler lighting, and the Overworld keeps its natural day/night cycle.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling the shader. How do I fix it?
Lower the shadow quality or disable volumetric clouds in the shader settings, reduce your render distance, or lower other video settings like particles and entity shadows. Start with shadow quality since it has the biggest performance impact.
