Radiant Lite Rays Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on God Rays after installing the shader?
Open the shader settings menu (usually accessed through your video settings or a dedicated shader menu), find the God Rays option, and toggle it on. You can then adjust the intensity slider to control how bright and visible the sunbeams appear.
Why are my caves still bright even with this shader installed?
Make sure the Dark Caves feature is enabled in the shader settings. If caves remain bright, check that you don't have other mods or settings overriding ambient light, and verify that your world doesn't have a high ambient light value set in the world options.
Can I use this shader on a laptop with Intel HD graphics?
Yes—this shader is specifically designed to run smoothly on Intel HD integrated graphics, maintaining 60–100 FPS even on budget hardware. If you experience frame drops, try lowering the God Rays intensity or disabling other visual enhancements.
What should I do if I see weird lighting glitches or dark patches?
First, try toggling the shader off and on again. If artifacts persist, lower the God Rays intensity, disable any conflicting visual mods, and make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Restarting the game often resolves temporary lighting errors.
Does this shader work with other mods that change lighting?
This shader may conflict with mods that heavily modify light rendering or ambient light values. Test compatibility by running the shader alone first, then add other mods one at a time to identify conflicts.
How do I make God Rays more or less visible?
Open the shader settings and locate the God Rays intensity or brightness slider. Increase it to make sunbeams more dramatic, or decrease it for subtle lighting effects that don't wash out your view.
Will this shader make mining harder because caves are darker?
Yes—darker caves are an intentional feature of this shader, making torches and other light sources necessary for safe mining. If you find it too dark, you can adjust the cave darkness setting in the shader options to find a balance you prefer.
Why is my frame rate dropping below 60 FPS?
Try reducing the God Rays intensity, lowering your render distance, or disabling other resource-heavy mods. If you're on very old hardware, you may need to reduce other video settings like shadow quality or particle effects.
Do I need a dedicated graphics card to use this shader?
No—this shader is designed to run on integrated graphics like Intel HD. A dedicated GPU will give you better performance, but it's not required.
How do I uninstall or disable this shader?
Remove the shader file from your shader pack folder, or use your launcher's shader management tool to deactivate it. Restarting the game will return you to standard Minecraft lighting.
