Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Soft Shaders after installing?
Open your shader settings menu in-game (usually accessible from Video Settings), find Soft Shaders in the shader list, and select it to activate. Your world will reload with the new lighting and water effects applied.
Why does my water look different with Soft Shaders?
Soft Shaders adds wave movement and light reflections to water surfaces, making them more realistic and reflective. You can adjust how intense these reflections appear in the shader options if they're too bright for your preference.
Can I use Soft Shaders with other mods?
Yes, Soft Shaders is compatible with most mods since it only affects visuals and doesn't change game mechanics. However, avoid using it with other shader packs simultaneously, as they'll conflict.
My fps dropped after installing Soft Shaders
Try reducing shadow quality or disabling bloom effects in the shader settings to improve performance. Soft Shaders is designed for low to medium hardware, but you may need to lower specific features depending on your graphics card.
