Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, go to Shaders, and select VerdantLight Lite from the list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my game look the same after turning on the shader?
VerdantLight Lite is designed to be subtle and keep the vanilla aesthetic—changes are most noticeable in shadows and how light bounces between blocks rather than dramatic visual overhauls. Try looking at areas with mixed light and shadow, like under trees or near water, to see the differences.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, VerdantLight Lite works with most mods, but mods that heavily alter lighting or add custom blocks may cause visual inconsistencies. Test your mod combination in a small world first.
My FPS dropped a lot after installing—is this normal?
Some performance impact is expected, but VerdantLight Lite is optimized for low-end systems. If the drop is severe, check your render distance and try lowering other video settings, or refer to the performance optimization guide.
