Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Shoggy Shaders?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shader Packs and click Shoggy Shaders in the list so it becomes the active pack, then click Done. If it isn't listed, use the button on that screen to open the shaderpacks folder and check that the pack file is there.
How do I know Shoggy Shaders is actually working?
Place a torch or another light source in a dark area and look for colored light around it instead of plain white vanilla lighting. You should also see shadows from blocks and trees during the day. If everything looks exactly like vanilla, the pack isn't active.
I put Shoggy Shaders in my mods folder and nothing happened, why?
Shoggy Shaders is a shader pack, not a regular mod, so it doesn't load from the mods folder. It belongs in the shaderpacks folder, and it needs a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine to run.
Will Shoggy Shaders run on my low-end PC or laptop?
Yes. It's built for potato computers and budget setups, with simple shadows and lighting that keep frame rates stable. If your game still stutters, lower your render distance in Video Settings first, because that usually costs more performance than the shader does.
