Lumeau Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Lumeau Shaders in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the visual changes take effect immediately.
Why is my frame rate dropping after installing Lumeau?
Check your shadow quality and lighting settings in the shader options—these have the biggest impact on performance. If you're on older hardware, lower the shadow softness and reduce colored lighting intensity to regain frames.
Can I use Lumeau Shaders with other mods?
Yes, Lumeau Shaders works with most mods, but it may conflict with other shader packs or mods that heavily modify lighting and rendering. Disable any competing shaders or visual enhancement mods to avoid issues.
How do I adjust the shadow darkness and softness?
Open the shader settings (usually by pressing a key like Right Shift or through Video Settings), then look for shadow-related sliders. You can control both the intensity of shadows and how blurred or soft their edges appear.
Why do some blocks look weirdly colored or glitchy?
This usually happens if your graphics driver is outdated or if you have incompatible mods affecting block rendering. Update your GPU drivers and check that no other mods are overriding block textures or lighting.
Can I make the water waves bigger or smaller?
Yes, the shader settings include water wave controls where you can adjust the wave height and frequency. Experiment with these sliders to find the look you prefer without affecting performance much.
Does Lumeau work on servers or only single-player?
Shaders are client-side only, so they work on both single-player and servers—they only affect what you see on your screen and don't require the server to have the shader installed.
What should I do if the shader makes everything too dark or too bright?
Adjust the exposure or brightness slider in the shader settings to fine-tune the overall lighting level. You can also tweak the colored lighting intensity if specific light sources seem too strong or weak.
Will Lumeau Shaders work on my really old PC?
Lumeau is designed for older hardware, but extremely low-end systems may still struggle—try lowering shadow quality, disabling soft shadows, and reducing lighting effects in the shader options to improve performance.
How do I uninstall or switch to a different shader?
Go back to Video Settings > Shaders and select 'Off' or choose a different shader pack from the list. The changes take effect immediately with no restart needed.
