Frequently asked questions

Do I need to enable True Stars Shaders after installing it?
True Stars works as a core shader, so it activates automatically once installed—you don't need to toggle it on in a menu. If stars aren't appearing, check that your shader settings haven't been overridden by another mod or that you're looking at the night sky (stars won't show during day or in caves).
Why do the stars look dim or barely visible?
Star brightness depends on your in-game brightness setting and any light pollution from nearby blocks or mods. Try adjusting the star brightness setting in the shader configuration, or move away from artificial light sources to see the effect better.
Can I make the stars different colors?
Yes—the mod includes color intensity settings that let you adjust how vibrant the star colors appear. You can tweak these values in the shader's configuration file to make colors more or less saturated.
Will True Stars Shaders slow down my game?
True Stars is designed to be lightweight and shouldn't cause major performance drops on most systems. If you experience lag, try the performance optimization guide, which covers reducing star count or adjusting render distance settings.
