Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the LiDAR scanning effect?
Open your shader settings menu (usually Shift+Z or through Video Settings > Shaders) and enable LiDAR S Shaders from your shader pack list. The point cloud effect will activate immediately when you load into a world.
Why can't I see normal textures anymore?
LiDAR S Shaders replaces block textures with a point cloud visualization by design—this is the core feature. If you want to see textures again, switch back to your default shader or disable the shader pack entirely.
Can I use this shader to find diamonds and ores?
LiDAR S Shaders reveals block geometry and cave structures around you, which helps you navigate and plan mining routes, but it doesn't highlight specific ore types—you'll still need to identify them by their point cloud shape or switch shaders to see them clearly.
Does LiDAR work in caves and underground?
Yes, the shader is designed to scan and reveal cave systems and hidden structures by mapping the terrain around your character, making underground exploration much easier to navigate.
