Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Upaama Shaders in my world?
Open the game menu, go to Options, select Video Settings, and open your Shaders menu. Click Upaama Shaders in the pack list and confirm your selection to apply the lighting, sky, and water effects.
Can I use Upaama Shaders on multiplayer servers?
Yes, Upaama Shaders runs entirely on your client because it only changes how your computer renders lighting, shadows, skies, and water. You can use it on any multiplayer server without the server needing it installed.
How do I get better frame rates while using Upaama Shaders?
Upaama Shaders is already optimized for smooth gameplay, so the fastest way to boost performance on slower hardware is lowering your render distance and shadow distance in Video Settings. You can also lower shadow quality inside the shader options screen while keeping the atmospheric skies and lighting enabled.
Does Upaama Shaders change the vanilla block textures?
No, this shader pack keeps the classic vanilla art style intact and does not overwrite block, item, or mob textures. It upgrades the world around your existing textures using cinematic lighting, shadows, and clear water.
