Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Serene Glowing Skies from the list. The changes apply immediately—you'll see the new sky, lighting, and water effects right away.
Why does my game feel darker than before?
The mod's moody sky textures and soft lighting are intentional, but you can adjust nighttime visibility in the shader settings to brighten dark areas while keeping the atmospheric look. Check for brightness or gamma sliders in the shader options menu.
Can I adjust how much the water waves move?
Yes—open the shader settings and look for water or wave intensity options. You can dial the wave strength up or down to match your preference, from calm surfaces to more dramatic movement.
My frame rate dropped a lot after installing this. What can I do?
Try lowering shadow quality or disabling advanced water reflections in the shader settings, and make sure your render distance isn't set too high. If you're on an older computer, reducing these settings should bring performance back to normal.
