Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your pause menu in-game, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select Salicylic Lite from your shader pack list. Click Apply and the shader will activate immediately.
Why are my shadows looking blocky or pixelated?
Shadow quality is tied to your shadow distance setting—lower distances create blockier shadows to save performance. Increase the shadow distance in your shader options if your hardware can handle it, or accept the trade-off for better frame rates.
Can I use this shader with other mods like Optifine or Sodium?
Salicylic Lite is designed to work with Iris (the shader mod for Fabric), which is compatible with most optimization mods like Sodium. Avoid running it alongside Optifine, as they conflict with each other.
My caves are still too dark even with the shader on. What can I do?
Check your in-game brightness setting in Video Options—Salicylic Lite improves dark area visibility but respects your base brightness preference. You can also increase your monitor's brightness or adjust gamma in your shader settings if available.
