Getting the Best Look in Different Lighting Conditions

Understand How Post'n'Stuff! Renders Light

The shader blends vanilla Minecraft lighting with enhanced bloom and ambient occlusion. This means its appearance changes based on time of day, weather, and proximity to light sources.

Test During Daytime

Explore your builds in bright sunlight. Ambient occlusion should make block details pop without overwhelming the scene. If colors feel washed out, check if bloom is too high or if your monitor brightness needs adjustment.

Evaluate Nighttime and Caves

Visit underground areas and caves at night. This is where bloom around torches and lava shines most. Ambient occlusion should make shadows feel natural rather than harsh. If caves feel too dark, ensure your torch placement is adequate—the shader doesn't brighten darkness artificially.

Adjust for Weather

Rain and storms affect how the shader renders. Test your builds during different weather to ensure they look good in all conditions.

Compare Before and After

Toggle the shader on and off to see the difference. This helps you appreciate the enhancements and decide if your current settings match your vision. Fine-tune from there.
