Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the colored lighting?
Colored lighting is enabled by default when you install Shader_vanilla Shaders. If you don't see colored light from torches or lanterns, check that shaders are active in your Video Settings menu and that the shader pack is properly selected.
Why do my shadows look too dark or too light?
Open the shader options menu (usually accessible by pressing a key while in-game or through Video Settings) and adjust the shadow intensity slider to match your preference. Lower values create softer, lighter shadows while higher values make them more pronounced.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Shader_vanilla Shaders works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual conflicts. Test compatibility by loading your modpack and checking if colored lighting appears correctly on modded blocks.
My FPS dropped after installing the shader. What should I do?
Try reducing shadow quality in the shader options—this is the most performance-intensive feature. You can also lower your render distance or disable moving clouds and foliage effects if performance is still poor.
