Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on PaintBound Shaders after installing it?
Open the Shaders menu from your Video Settings, then browse to the PaintBound Shaders folder and select it. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
My game is running slowly with PaintBound. What should I do?
Switch to a lower shader quality setting in the Video Settings menu—PaintBound offers low, medium, and high presets designed for different PC performance levels. You can also disable bloom effects or reduce render distance if you need more performance.
Why do my torches and light sources look dull?
Make sure you're using the Colored Lighting feature in the shader settings to enable the bright, fantasy-like colors on light sources. If it's already on, try adjusting the light intensity slider to make colors more vibrant.
Can I use PaintBound with other shader packs?
No—only one shader pack can be active at a time. You'll need to disable PaintBound and select a different shader if you want to switch.
