Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings, find the Shaders option, and select Simple Brightness Shaders from the list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my world look the same after enabling the shader?
The mod is designed to keep vanilla aesthetics, so changes are subtle. Look for softer lighting on block surfaces and gentle brightness in shadows—the effect is most noticeable in caves and at dawn/dusk.
Can I adjust how bright the shader makes everything?
Yes, you can customize brightness and lighting intensity through the shader settings menu. Access this by opening the Shaders screen and looking for the configuration options for this pack.
Does this shader work with texture packs?
Simple Brightness Shaders works with most vanilla-compatible texture packs since it only modifies lighting, not textures themselves. Some heavily modified packs may look unusual, so test yours first.
