Tuning Soft Shadows and Foliage Motion for Visual Clarity

Vivid Radiant Clear combines soft shadows, subtle foliage motion, and clean block visuals for a semi-realistic look, and you can adjust or reset these features anytime through your shader loader's settings menu.

Modifying Shadow and Foliage Settings

1. Open Options > Video Settings and select Shaders or Shader Packs.

2. Open the pack's settings menu using the Shader Pack Settings button in Iris or OptiFine.

3. Browse the available categories in the pack's settings menu to adjust how soft shadows, colored lighting, or foliage movements behave in your world.

4. Apply your changes and check nearby trees, grass, and sunlit blocks in game to verify the updated look.

Restoring the Default Vanilla-Friendly Balance

If changing options makes shadows harder to see, alters foliage motion in a way you dislike, or reduces visual clarity, return to the pack's settings screen and click the Reset button provided by Iris or OptiFine. Resetting restores the default configuration built to preserve the classic vanilla art style while maintaining high FPS on weak and mid-range setups. You can also press your shader mod's toggle keybind during gameplay to switch shaders off and on, letting you compare standard vanilla lighting directly against Vivid Radiant Clear.
