Frequently asked questions

How do I install Vivid Radiant Lighting?
Install a compatible shader loader (such as Iris or OptiFine) first, then place the Vivid Radiant Lighting shader pack in your shaderpacks folder. Restart Minecraft, open Video Settings, select Shaders, and choose Vivid Radiant Lighting from the list.
Why does my game look washed out even with the shader on?
Check that the shader is actually active in your Video Settings > Shaders menu. If it's enabled but still looks dim, try adjusting the brightness slider in the shader options or disabling any conflicting resource packs that might override colors.
Can I use this on a low-end PC?
Yes—Vivid Radiant Lighting is designed to run smoothly on budget hardware. If you still experience lag, lower your render distance, disable reflections in the shader settings, or reduce your resolution.
How do I make colors more vibrant?
Open the shader options (usually by pressing a key like R in-game, depending on your loader) and look for saturation or color intensity sliders. Increase these values to make biomes pop more.
