Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your shader settings menu (usually accessible from Video Settings), navigate to Shaders, and select Vivid Radiant Combat from your shader pack list. The changes apply immediately once selected.
Why do caves still look dark even with this shader on?
The shader lifts shadows but respects your game's brightness settings—make sure your monitor brightness is adequate and that you haven't set Minecraft's brightness to Moody. You can also adjust your gamma or brightness slider in Video Settings for additional visibility.
Can I use this shader with texture packs?
Yes, Vivid Radiant Combat works alongside most texture packs without conflict. The shader only affects lighting and color, so your chosen textures will display normally on top of it.
Does this shader work with Optifine and Iris, or do I have to pick one?
The shader is compatible with both Iris and OptiFine, so you can use whichever mod loader you prefer—you don't need both installed at the same time.
