Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Salicylic Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, navigate to Shaders, and select Salicylic Shaders from the list. The shaders will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my world look too dark or too bright with this shader?
Adjust the brightness and contrast settings in the shader options menu (accessed via Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options). You can also modify exposure and gamma values to match your monitor and lighting preference.
Can I use Salicylic Shaders with other visual mods like Optifine or Sodium?
Salicylic Shaders is compatible with most optimization mods, but you should use either Optifine or Sodium (not both) as your rendering backend. Check the mod's documentation for your specific version to confirm compatibility.
My shadows look blocky or pixelated. How do I fix this?
Increase the shadow map resolution in the shader settings—higher values create smoother, more detailed shadows but require more GPU power. You can also enable shadow softness to blend shadow edges more naturally.
