Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Mini Plus Shaders in game?
Open the pause menu, go to Options, and select Video Settings to open your Shaders list. Click on Mini Plus Shaders to apply the new lighting and water effects to your world.
Will Mini Plus Shaders lag a low end laptop?
No, it is designed to run smoothly on budget computers with minimal lag and no heavy frame drops. You do not need a high-end graphics card to get smooth performance.
Why are caves so bright with this shader on?
Mini Plus Shaders intentionally brightens up dark caves and shadows to give you better visibility underground. This is a built-in lighting feature rather than a bug with your brightness slider.
How do I get reflections on regular blocks instead of just water?
The shader adds shiny reflections specifically to water and wet surfaces. Dry blocks keep their normal appearance until rain makes outdoor surfaces wet.
