Perry Light Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Perry Light from the list. The shader will activate immediately and you'll see the lighting and foliage changes take effect.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling Perry Light. What do I do?
Go to Shader Settings (usually accessible from the pause menu or video settings) and switch to a lower performance preset—try the Potato or Low preset first. You can also disable foliage animation if you need more frames.
Can I use Perry Light on a really old computer?
Yes, that's what it's designed for. Start with the Potato preset, which minimizes effects while keeping the shader's core lighting improvements. If you still experience lag, disable foliage waving in the shader settings.
Why do my torches and light blocks look different now?
Perry Light adds warm, colored lighting to light-emitting blocks like torches and lanterns as part of its core feature. This is intentional and keeps the vanilla feel while making light sources more visually pleasant.
How do I turn off the grass and leaf waving?
Open the Shader Settings menu and look for the Foliage Animation or Plant Waving option, then toggle it off. This will also give you a small performance boost if you need it.
Does Perry Light work with mods that add new blocks?
Yes, Perry Light is compatible with most block-adding mods since it works on a shader level. New blocks will receive the same lighting treatment as vanilla blocks.
Can I make the lighting brighter or dimmer?
Check the Shader Settings for brightness or exposure controls—these let you adjust how intense the colored lighting appears. You can also tweak individual light source colors if the shader offers that option.
Why does my world look washed out or too dark with this shader?
Adjust the brightness or gamma setting in Shader Settings to match your preference. If specific blocks look wrong, try switching between performance presets, as they can render lighting differently.
Will Perry Light affect my survival world's performance during combat or building?
Perry Light is optimized to run smoothly even during intensive activities, but if you notice frame drops during combat, lower your preset or disable foliage animation for a smoother experience.
Can I use Perry Light with other visual mods like texture packs?
Yes, Perry Light works well alongside texture packs and resource packs. The shader enhances lighting and foliage movement while your texture pack handles block appearance, so they complement each other.
