Frequently asked questions

How do I enable NaturalVision Shaders after installing it?
Open your Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then Shaders, and select NaturalVision from the list. You'll see the shader activate immediately.
Why does my screen look too dark or too bright when I first load the shader?
NaturalVision simulates real eye adaptation, so brightness takes a few seconds to adjust when you load in or move between light levels. This is intentional and matches how human vision works.
Can I adjust the exposure settings to make caves brighter or sunlight softer?
Yes—open the shader options menu (usually by pressing a key like Right Shift while in-game, depending on your shader loader) to find exposure and brightness sliders that let you customize the lighting to your preference.
Does NaturalVision work with other mods that change lighting or world generation?
NaturalVision is compatible with most mods since it only affects how light is rendered visually, not how the world generates or behaves. However, mods that heavily modify lighting systems may conflict—test in-game to confirm.
