For Advanced Rocketry Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why do my shaders turn off when I go to space?
For Advanced Rocketry Shaders automatically disables itself in space dimensions so you can see stars and planets clearly without lighting interference. This is intentional—the shader detects when you enter a space dimension and switches off to prevent visual glitches.
How do I turn the shader back on after leaving space?
The shader automatically re-enables when you return to the normal world or any non-space dimension. You don't need to do anything—just travel back and it will activate on its own.
Can I use this shader with other lighting mods?
This shader is designed to work specifically with Advanced Rocketry and may conflict with other shader packs or lighting mods. Use only one shader pack at a time to avoid visual glitches and performance issues.
Why is my game lagging with this shader enabled?
Realistic shaders are demanding—try lowering your render distance, disabling advanced lighting features in shader settings, or reducing your graphics quality. If lag persists, check that your GPU drivers are up to date.
Do I need Advanced Rocketry mod installed to use this shader?
Yes, this shader is built for Advanced Rocketry and won't function properly without it. The space dimension detection relies on Advanced Rocketry's space mechanics.
Why do I see lighting glitches when building in space dimensions?
If glitches appear even with the shader off, try disabling other mods that modify lighting or block rendering. You can also try toggling the shader on and off with your shader menu to reset the lighting engine.
Can I manually turn off the shader instead of letting it auto-disable in space?
Yes—use your shader menu (usually opened with a key like F2 or a custom keybind) to toggle the shader on or off at any time, even in space dimensions.
What Minecraft version does this shader support?
Check the mod's download page for supported versions, as compatibility depends on both the shader and Advanced Rocketry versions you're using.
Why do stars and planets look wrong when the shader is on in space?
The shader automatically turns off in space to prevent this—if you're still seeing issues, make sure the shader actually disabled by checking your shader menu or reloading your world.
Does this shader work with Optifine or Sodium?
Compatibility depends on your specific setup and versions. Test it in your world first, and if you experience crashes or visual errors, try removing conflicting mods one at a time to identify the issue.
