Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Radiant Vivid Colors once I am in the game?
Open the game menu, go to Options, select Video Settings, and open the Shaders menu. Click Radiant Vivid Colors in the list to apply the lighting and color changes to your world.
How do I get colored lighting to show up in my builds?
Place torches or other light sources close to walls, floors, or ceilings. They automatically cast colorful glows across surrounding blocks without needing any extra configuration.
Why can't I see the colored glow from my torches outside?
Bright daytime lighting naturally washes out artificial block light. Test your light sources inside caves, enclosed rooms, or during the night cycle to clearly see the colored glows on nearby surfaces.
Why do water and blocks still look like regular vanilla Minecraft?
Radiant Vivid Colors is designed to keep the classic look of vanilla blocks and mobs intact. Rather than replacing water or block surfaces with realistic effects, it boosts color saturation and upgrades light levels.
