Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the colored lighting after installing the shader?
Open your shader settings menu in-game (usually accessible from Video Settings) and enable Simply Shaded Shaders from the available shader list. The colored glow from light sources should appear immediately once activated.
Why aren't my light sources glowing with color?
Check that your shader is actually enabled in the Video Settings menu. If it's on but you still see no glow, try adjusting the brightness slider in the shader options—colored lighting may be too dim to see at default settings, especially during daytime.
Can I use this shader with other mods that add custom blocks?
Simply Shaded works with most mods, but custom light-emitting blocks from other mods may not receive colored lighting unless they use standard light source properties. Vanilla and commonly-used mod light sources (like torches, lamps, and glowstone) will glow normally.
My FPS dropped after enabling the shader. How do I fix this?
Simply Shaded is designed for low-end hardware, but you can boost performance further by lowering your render distance, disabling advanced lighting options in the shader settings, or reducing your resolution. Check the Optimize Frame Rate on Low-End Hardware guide for detailed steps.
