Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on shadows after installing the mod?
Open your shader settings menu (usually accessed through video settings) and select More & Better Shadows Shaders from the available shader list. Shadows will activate immediately once applied.
Why are my shadows not showing up?
Check that your graphics card supports shader rendering and that you haven't disabled shadows in the shader options menu. If shadows still don't appear, verify the mod is properly installed and try restarting your game.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, this shader is compatible with most mods since it only affects lighting and shadows. However, mods that heavily modify rendering or lighting may conflict—test in-game to confirm compatibility.
My FPS dropped after installing shadows. How do I fix it?
Reduce the shadow distance and quality settings in the shader options—lower values have less performance impact. You can also lower your render distance or disable other visual features to regain FPS.
