Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Ziran Shaders once I am in the game?
Open the pause menu, go to Options, click Video Settings, and open your Shaders menu. Select Ziran Shaders from the list and click Done to load the lighting, shadow, and foliage effects into your world.
How do I get colored lighting to show up in my builds?
Place glowing blocks and light sources directly near walls, ceilings, or floors so their colored glow has a surface to project onto. Combining different light sources in the same room will blend their tints across your blocks automatically.
Why are the sun, moon, and fire glowing so brightly?
Ziran Shaders applies a soft bloom effect specifically to the sun, moon, and fire. If the glow is too intense around indoor fireplaces or Nether builds, open the Shader Options menu to turn down or disable bloom.
Can I turn off the swaying grass and tree leaves?
Yes, open your Shaders menu, click into the Shader Options for Ziran Shaders, and look for the wind or waving foliage toggles. Turning those off stops grass and tree leaves from moving while keeping the colored lights and soft shadows active.
