Opening Color Profile Settings
SimplyDithered Shaders lets you transform the mood of your world by customizing color palettes, profiles, and tints to match your favorite nostalgic computer style. To start experimenting, pause your game, head to Options, click Video Settings, and open your Shaders screen. Open the SimplyDithered Shaders configuration menu and locate the color palette, profile, and tint options.
Testing Palettes Across Biomes and Lighting
Cycle through the color profiles or adjust the tint controls to shift Minecraft's standard colors into a distinct retro scheme. Because custom palettes change how every block and light source appears on your display, test your new setup in a few practical spots before settling on it:
1. Check block and ore contrast: Make sure stone, coal, iron, and other common blocks remain easy to tell apart underground under the new palette.
2. Inspect light sources: Place a torch or stand near lava to see how bright lighting interacts with your chosen tint and dithering pattern.
3. Compare day and night: Check both bright skies and dark nighttime terrain to ensure you can still read light levels accurately.
If a strong tint makes navigation tricky in dim caves or dense biomes, return to the color settings and switch to a subtler profile for everyday survival play, saving bolder nostalgic palettes for creative builds or screenshots.
