Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your Video Settings, navigate to Shaders, and select RenderKit Utilities Shaders from your shader pack list. The shader will activate immediately and you'll see flat lighting applied to your world.
Why does my character still have shadows when I want a clean render?
Check your shader settings for shadow options—you may need to disable entity shadows or world shadows separately depending on what you're rendering. The mod gives you individual toggles for different shadow types.
Can I use this shader with resource packs?
Yes, RenderKit Utilities Shaders works alongside resource packs, though the flat lighting may override some texture shading details. Test your specific resource pack combination to ensure the visual style matches your needs.
How do I change the background color for my thumbnail?
Look for background or sky color settings in the shader options menu—you can set a solid color backdrop directly without needing to modify your world. This isolates your subject against a clean, uniform background.
