PwC Outline Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable the shader pack after installing it?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then click 'Shader Packs' and select PwC Outline Shaders from the list. Click 'Apply' and the outlines will appear immediately in your world.
Why do the outlines look too thick or too thin?
Most shader packs have settings accessible by clicking 'Shader Options' in the Video Settings menu—look for outline width or thickness sliders and adjust to your preference.
Can I use this shader with resource packs?
Yes, PwC Outline Shaders works alongside resource packs, though the visual effect depends on how the resource pack's textures interact with the cel shading and outlines.
Does this mod work in multiplayer servers?
Shader packs are client-side only, so you can use PwC Outline Shaders on any server without needing permission or affecting other players.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling outlines. How do I fix this?
Reduce outline thickness or visibility in the shader options, lower your render distance, or disable other visual enhancements like shadows to improve performance.
Do the outlines show up on mobs and entities?
Yes, PwC Outline Shaders draws outlines around all mobs, animals, and players so they stand out clearly from the environment.
Why do outlines look different in caves versus bright areas?
Cel shading flattens lighting, so outlines may appear more or less visible depending on ambient light—try adjusting the outline visibility setting or brightness to suit different environments.
Can I combine this with Optifine or other shader packs?
You can only use one shader pack at a time, but PwC Outline Shaders is compatible with Optifine for optimization features like better performance settings.
Do outlines work on transparent blocks like glass or water?
Outlines typically appear around solid blocks and mobs; transparent blocks may have reduced or no outline effect depending on the shader's design.
How do I turn off the shader if I don't like it?
Go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders and select 'Off' or 'Default' to disable PwC Outline Shaders and return to normal Minecraft rendering.
