Frequently asked questions

How do I enable Project Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then select Project Shaders from the list and apply. You'll see the changes take effect immediately in your world.
Why do my shadows look too dark or too bright?
Open the shader options menu (usually accessible from Video Settings while the shader is active) and adjust the shadow intensity slider to find your preferred darkness level. Different times of day and biomes will naturally have different shadow depths.
Can I use Project Shaders with my resource pack?
Yes, Project Shaders works alongside resource packs—load both in your launcher and they'll blend together. The shader handles lighting while your resource pack handles textures and models.
How do I make torches and lanterns glow more?
Look for light source or glow settings in the shader options menu and increase the spread or intensity value. You may need to adjust emissive settings depending on your specific shader version.
