PHYCHO HORROR Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, go to Shaders, and select PHYCHO HORROR Shaders from your shader pack folder. The effect applies immediately when you confirm the selection.
Why is my world completely black and I can't see anything?
This is intentional—the shader removes all daylight permanently. Use torches, lanterns, glowstone, or other light sources to navigate, or adjust fog density in the shader options if visibility is too extreme.
Can I turn off the VHS static effect?
Yes, open the shader options menu (usually accessible from Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options) and look for the VHS static or screen overlay setting to reduce or disable it.
The pulsing vignette is making me dizzy. How do I fix it?
Access the shader options and find the vignette intensity or pulse speed setting, then lower it to a comfortable level or disable it entirely.
Does this shader work with other mods?
PHYCHO HORROR Shaders works with most mods, but may conflict with other shader packs or mods that heavily modify lighting and rendering—only run one shader pack at a time.
My game is lagging with this shader. What can I help?
Try reducing fog density or visibility distance in the shader options, lower your render distance, or disable advanced graphics features like shadows if available in the settings.
Can I see the sky or stars with this shader?
No, the shader is designed to remove all sky elements and clouds to maintain constant darkness, which is core to the horror atmosphere.
Does the darkness affect mob spawning or survival mechanics?
The shader only changes visuals—mob spawning, difficulty, and game mechanics work normally, but the constant darkness makes survival more challenging since you rely entirely on artificial light.
How do I adjust how far I can see through the fog?
Open the shader options menu and locate the fog density or visibility distance slider, then adjust it to increase or decrease how far you can see before fog obscures everything.
Will this shader work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, shaders are client-side only, so you can use PHYCHO HORROR Shaders on any server without affecting other players or requiring server modifications.
