Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on SomeRandomPhoto Shaders once I am in the game?
Open the pause menu, go to Options, select Video Settings, and open your Shaders menu. Select SomeRandomPhoto Shaders from the pack list to apply the lighting and shadow updates immediately.
How can I fix low FPS without turning the shaders completely off?
Open the shader settings menu and turn down the quality for shadows and surface reflections, since casting shadows for trees, blocks, and mobs uses the most performance. Lowering your game's general render distance in Video Settings will also reduce how much terrain needs to be reflected and shaded.
Does this shader pack do anything in the End dimension?
Yes, it replaces the normal dark End background with a custom sky made specifically for that dimension. You will see the updated sky automatically as soon as you travel through an End portal.
Why isn't the custom End sky showing up when I go to the End?
Check your Video Settings to make sure sky rendering and custom skies are turned on, as disabling them can block the shader's sky from appearing. Also check your active resource packs, since a pack with its own sky textures can sometimes clash with shader skies.
