Selecting the Pack in Video Settings
Soleron Shaders requires a shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine, with the pack placed inside your game's shaderpacks folder. Once you are in Minecraft, press Esc (or open Options from the title screen) and go to Video Settings. Open the Shader Packs or Shaders menu, click Soleron Shaders in the list, and apply your changes so the game reloads its rendering.
Confirming the Effects Are Working
Load into a world during the daytime to make sure the shader is active. Because Soleron keeps the original vanilla style, your blocks and textures will still look like classic Minecraft rather than an overhauled resource pack. Look instead at how light behaves across the landscape: the harsh lighting of the base game should be replaced by a smoother visual style with a warm, sunny glow. Check around trees, buildings, and nearby mobs—you should see soft, realistic shadows cast across the ground and across individual blocks where sunlight is blocked. If the world still uses flat vanilla lighting, return to the shader menu and confirm that shaders are toggled on and not disabled by a hotkey.
