Enhance Your Build's Appearance with Better Lighting

Leverage Polace's Ambient System

Polace excels at making vanilla builds look polished through improved ambient lighting and soft shadows. These features work automatically—no special blocks needed.

Position Light Sources Strategically

Place torches, lanterns, and other light blocks to cast subtle shadows that define your structure's shape. Polace's soft shadow rendering makes lighting feel natural rather than harsh.

Use Block Variety for Visual Depth

The shader's shadow system adds depth to textured surfaces. Mix different block types in walls and floors—the subtle shadows between blocks create visual interest without looking artificial.

Adjust Time of Day

Test your build at different times. Polace's day and night lighting cycles enhance atmosphere differently. Sunset and sunrise often showcase builds beautifully due to the shader's ambient lighting improvements.

Experiment with Biome Selection

Different biomes receive different ambient lighting in Polace. Building in forests, mountains, or deserts will show your work under distinct lighting conditions. Choose biomes that complement your build's aesthetic.
