NovaShade Shaders FAQ

Open your Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then look for Shaders. Select NovaShade from the shader pack list and apply. You'll see the changes take effect immediately in your world.

Open the shader settings menu (usually by pressing a key while shaders are active) and navigate to shadow quality settings. You can adjust shadow intensity and contrast to match your preference without affecting performance.

NovaShade works best with Iris and Sodium for optimal performance and compatibility. Using it alongside Optifine may cause conflicts or visual glitches, so check the mod documentation for your specific setup.

Access the shader settings and find the water reflection or water quality option. Lower the reflection intensity or disable certain water effects if they look too extreme for your taste.

Try lowering shadow distance and shadow quality in the shader settings first, as these have the biggest impact on frame rate. If lag persists, reduce render distance or disable advanced lighting features in the shader menu.

Open shader settings and look for torch glow or light color options. You can adjust the color temperature and brightness of artificial light sources to match your build's aesthetic.

Yes, NovaShade applies to all dimensions, though the lighting will adapt to each environment's unique sky and light sources. You can adjust dimension-specific settings if the mod provides that option.

NovaShade modifies sky rendering as part of its lighting overhaul. Check shader settings for cloud density or sky options, or disable cloud modifications if you prefer vanilla clouds.

Shaders are client-side only, so you can use NovaShade on any server or multiplayer world without affecting other players. Everyone sees their own shader effects independently.

Try disabling the shader temporarily and updating your graphics drivers. If crashes continue, check that you're using a compatible mod loader (like Fabric with Iris) and that your Java version is current.
