Kairo’s Color Filters Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the color filters menu in-game?
Press the Open Menu keybind (set in Options → Controls by default) or access it through Mod Menu if installed. Once open, you'll see all available sliders and presets ready to adjust.
What's the difference between World Only and Whole Screen mode?
World Only applies filters only to the game world, keeping your HUD (hotbar, health, chat) unaffected for a cleaner interface. Whole Screen applies the filter to everything including the HUD for a unified visual look.
Can I use this mod with shader packs?
Yes, Kairo's Color Filters works alongside standard shader packs without conflicts. The mod applies its effects in a single GPU pass, so performance impact remains minimal even when combined with shaders.
Why do my custom settings reset when I reload the world?
Make sure you've applied your changes before closing the menu—the mod should save your slider adjustments automatically. If settings keep resetting, check that your config file isn't read-only or being overwritten by another mod.
Which preset should I use for PvP?
The PvP preset is specifically tuned to enhance target visibility and adjust color tones for combat clarity. You can also use it as a starting point and fine-tune individual sliders like contrast or brightness to match your preference.
Does this mod work on servers?
Yes, color filters are client-side only, so they work on any server without requiring the mod to be installed server-side. Your adjustments won't affect other players or cause any compatibility issues.
How do I quickly compare the filter on and off?
Bind the Toggle Color Filters keybind in Options → Controls, then press it during gameplay to instantly switch the effect on or off without opening the menu. This is useful for checking how much the filter is actually changing your visuals.
What does Vibrance do differently than Saturation?
Vibrance lifts muted colors while protecting already bright tones from oversaturation, creating a more natural boost. Saturation increases all color intensity equally, which can make bright colors look blown out if pushed too far.
Can I use color filters to reduce eye strain?
Yes—lower the brightness, reduce contrast slightly, and shift the color temperature toward warmer tones to ease eye fatigue during long sessions. The mod's individual sliders let you dial in exactly what feels comfortable for your screen.
Will this mod affect my FPS?
No, the mod applies all effects in a single GPU pass with minimal performance impact. You should see no noticeable FPS drop even on lower-end systems.
