Lunaris Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then select Lunaris Shaders from the list and click Apply. You'll see the shader activate immediately in your world.
Why is my game running slowly with this shader?
Open the shader settings menu (usually by pressing a hotkey in-game or through Video Settings) and lower the shadow quality, reflection distance, or disable advanced lighting features. Start with lower settings and increase them until you find a balance that works for your hardware.
How do I adjust the water reflections?
Access the shader options menu and look for water or reflection settings—you can typically control reflection quality, wave intensity, and surface clarity. Lowering reflection distance will improve performance if the water looks too demanding.
Can I customize how shadows look on blocks?
Yes, the shader settings include shadow controls where you can adjust shadow softness, darkness, and distance. Experiment with these sliders to match your preferred lighting style while keeping performance in mind.
What should I do if I see weird visual glitches or flickering?
First, try disabling advanced features like parallax or ambient occlusion in the shader settings. If glitches persist, update your graphics drivers and ensure your GPU drivers are compatible with shader rendering.
Does this shader work with other mods?
Lunaris Shaders works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify rendering (like other shaders or advanced lighting mods) will conflict. Mods that add blocks or items work fine as long as they don't change how light and shadows are calculated.
Why do caves look too dark or too bright?
Adjust the ambient light or cave lighting settings in the shader options to control how much light reaches underground areas. You can also tweak the overall brightness slider to match your preference.
Can I use this shader on servers or multiplayer worlds?
Yes, shaders are client-side only, so they work on any multiplayer world or server without affecting other players. Everyone sees their own shader effects based on their local settings.
How do I turn off specific visual effects I don't like?
Open the shader settings menu and look for toggles or sliders for features like sun rays, bloom, or weather effects—you can disable or reduce any effect individually without turning off the entire shader.
Will this shader change how my world looks in vanilla Minecraft?
No, the shader only affects your visual experience while it's active. If you disable it, your world returns to normal vanilla appearance, and no world data is changed.
