Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Nocturne Shaders after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Nocturne in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the shader effects apply immediately to your world.
Why does my world look too dark or too bright with this shader?
Nocturne's lighting is affected by your monitor brightness and in-game brightness setting. Adjust the Brightness slider in Video Settings, or open the shader options menu to fine-tune ambient light levels to match your preference.
Can I use Nocturne Shaders with other mods?
Yes, Nocturne works with most mods, but mods that heavily alter lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual conflicts. Test your mod combination in a small world first to check for issues.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling Nocturne. How do I fix this?
Reduce shadow quality or disable advanced lighting features in the shader settings menu. Lowering your render distance and disabling fancy graphics also helps. Check the Performance Optimization guide for more detailed steps.
