Adjust Shadow Intensity and Softness

Access Shader Settings

Open your shader options menu from the Video Settings screen. Look for the Rift Superfast Shaders configuration panel. You'll find sliders and toggles dedicated to shadow behavior.

Customize Shadow Appearance

Locate the shadow intensity slider to control how dark shadows appear beneath blocks and trees. Lower values create subtle, barely-visible shadows; higher values produce more dramatic depth. The shadow softness or blur setting controls edge definition—increase it for softer, more realistic transitions, or decrease it for crisp, defined shadows.

Fine-Tune for Your Preference

Adjust these settings while standing in an area with varied lighting, such as near trees or buildings. Changes apply in real-time, so you can immediately see the effect on your world. If shadows feel too harsh on your low-end device, reduce intensity slightly to maintain smooth performance. Test your settings across different times of day and lighting conditions to ensure they look good in both bright and dim environments.
