Frequently asked questions
Do I need to do anything to enable Shadow Drop after installing it?
No, Shadow Drop works automatically once installed—shadows will appear behind all items in your inventory, hotbar, and advancement screens without any setup required.
Why do some items have darker shadows than others?
Shadow Drop adjusts shadow darkness based on the item's appearance; transparent or light-colored items like glass get lighter shadows, while solid dark blocks get darker shadows, creating a more realistic depth effect.
My shadows look wrong with my resource pack. How do I fix this?
Open the shadowdrop-client.toml file and adjust the slotBrColors setting to match the color scheme of your resource pack's inventory slots.
Shadow Drop is making my game lag when I open big chests. What can I do?
The mod draws twice as many items on screen, which impacts performance with large inventories; try disabling use-batched-renderer in shadowdrop-client.toml, or disable the mod temporarily when working with massive chests.
