Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Vivid Lucid Shadows from the list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why are my shadows looking too dark or too faint?
Access the shader settings menu (usually by clicking on the shader name in video settings) and adjust the shadow intensity slider to find the balance you prefer. Lower values create softer shadows, while higher values make them more pronounced.
Can I use this shader with other visual mods like connected textures or better grass?
Yes, Vivid Lucid Shadows is designed to work alongside most visual enhancement mods since it focuses only on lighting and shadows. Test your combination to ensure stable performance.
My FPS dropped significantly after installing the shader. How do I fix this?
Try lowering the shadow quality setting in the shader options, reducing render distance, or disabling sun rays if performance is still poor. If you're on integrated graphics, these adjustments should bring your frame rate back to acceptable levels.
