Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Prizm Shaders after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, go to Shaders, and select Prizm Shaders from the list. The shaders will activate immediately when you confirm the selection.
Why does my game look washed out or too bright with these shaders?
Check your in-game brightness and gamma settings—shader packs can interact with these values differently. You may also need to adjust the shader's own brightness slider in the shader options menu.
Can I use Prizm Shaders with resource packs?
Yes, Prizm Shaders works with most resource packs. Load your resource pack normally through the resource pack menu, and the shaders will layer on top of it.
My water looks flat or doesn't have reflections—what's wrong?
Open the shader options menu (usually Shift+R or through video settings) and look for water reflection or wave settings; make sure they're enabled and not set to minimum values.
