Frequently asked questions

How do I turn the shaders on in game?
Open the Options menu, go to Video Settings, and open the Shaders menu. Select the shader pack from the list and click Done to apply the shadows and lighting tweaks.
Why is there no Shaders button in my Video Settings?
Base Minecraft cannot load shader packs by itself even when the files are in place. Make sure you are launching the game with a client-side shader loader mod active so the Shaders menu appears.
Are caves and night time pitch black with this shader?
No, the pack changes how light falls on blocks without making the screen too dark. Caves and unlit areas stay readable and keep a visibility level very close to vanilla.
Will torches and lanterns cause blinding glare on bright blocks?
No, the lighting upgrades are balanced to avoid making the screen overly bright. You can light up builds and caves normally without getting harsh glare on bright surfaces.
