Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on MC Modification Shaders in game?
Open your Minecraft options menu, go to Video Settings, and open your Shaders menu. Select MC Modification Shaders from the list to apply the new lighting and water effects immediately.
Why are the water reflections and shadows not showing up?
Shader packs cannot run on vanilla Minecraft alone and require a shader loader mod to function. Make sure your shader loader is active and that MC Modification Shaders is actually selected inside your Video Settings, not just sitting in your folder.
Are caves too dark to explore without night vision?
No, the shader pack specifically balances bright daylight with dark underground environments so blocks remain easy to see. Smooth dark areas and warm torchlight make navigating caves clear without washing out the atmosphere.
Which light blocks get the warm lighting effect?
Torches, lanterns, and glowstone all cast a cozy, warm glow when placed in your builds or underground. They replace the harsh default lighting with softer illumination.
