10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I enable RTUShader after installing it?
Open Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select RTUShader from the list. Click Apply and the shader will activate immediately in your world.
Why does my world look too dark or too bright with this shader?
Use the shader's built-in brightness and contrast settings in the shader options menu (accessible via the Shaders button in Video Settings) to adjust the overall lighting to your preference.
Can I use RTUShader with other visual mods like Optifine or Sodium?
RTUShader works best with Iris (a shader loader designed for modern Minecraft), though compatibility depends on your specific mod setup; always check mod documentation for known conflicts.
How do I customize the water to look more transparent or reflective?
Open the shader options menu and look for water-related settings such as water transparency, reflection intensity, or wave height to adjust the appearance to your liking.
Is RTUShader causing lag or low FPS?
Try reducing shadow quality, disabling ambient occlusion, or lowering render distance in the shader options; you can also decrease your overall video settings to improve performance.
Why do shadows look strange or pixelated?
Increase the shadow map resolution in the shader settings if your hardware allows, or adjust shadow distance to find a balance between visual quality and performance.
Can I make the sky look different at sunrise and sunset?
RTUShader includes custom sky coloring that automatically transitions throughout the day; you can fine-tune these colors in the shader options to enhance sunrise and sunset effects.
Does this shader work in the Nether and End dimensions?
Yes, RTUShader applies to all dimensions, though the lighting effects will adapt to the unique environment of each dimension.
How do I get different lighting moods in different biomes?
RTUShader automatically adjusts lighting based on biome characteristics; you can further customize ambient lighting and shadow intensity in the shader settings to enhance specific biome atmospheres.
What should I do if the shader makes underwater visibility too poor?
Adjust the water fog distance or underwater brightness settings in the shader options to improve visibility while maintaining the underwater aesthetic.
