Kolor Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable Kolor Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft with Iris installed, open Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select Kolor Shaders from your shader pack folder. The shaders will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my game lag when I turn on Kolor Shaders?
Shader packs are GPU-intensive; try lowering your render distance, disabling advanced shadow options in the shader settings, or reducing your overall graphics settings. If performance is still poor, your hardware may not meet the recommended specs for this shader pack.
Can I use Kolor Shaders with mods that add new blocks?
Yes, Kolor Shaders works with most block-adding mods since it applies its color and lighting effects to all blocks. Some heavily customized mods may have minor visual inconsistencies, but compatibility is generally good.
How do I adjust the brightness or saturation?
Open the shader options menu (usually by pressing a hotkey in-game or through Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options) and look for color balance or saturation sliders to customize the visual intensity to your preference.
Why do shadows look too dark or too light?
Access the shader options and adjust the shadow intensity or contrast settings to find the balance that works for your setup; different hardware and lighting conditions may require different shadow values.
Does Kolor Shaders work in the Nether or End?
Yes, Kolor Shaders applies its color grading to all dimensions, though the visual effect is most noticeable in the Overworld where natural lighting is prominent. The Nether and End will still benefit from improved color clarity.
Can I disable Kolor Shaders without uninstalling it?
Yes, go to Video Settings > Shaders and select "None" to turn off the shader pack while keeping it installed. You can re-enable it anytime from the same menu.
What's the difference between Kolor Shaders and other shader packs?
Kolor Shaders focuses on vibrant, clean colors and smooth performance rather than extreme realism; it emphasizes biome color distinction and gentle shadow work while maintaining playability on mid-range hardware.
Why do sunrise and sunset colors look different than I expected?
Open the shader options and look for time-of-day or sky color settings to fine-tune how warm or cool the sunrise and sunset appear; you can also adjust these based on your current biome.
Does Kolor Shaders affect performance in caves or indoors?
Caves and indoor areas see less performance impact since shader effects are most intensive in lit outdoor areas; however, caves will still render faster than outdoor terrain since there's less dynamic lighting to process.
