Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open the Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then Graphics, and select the shader from the Shaders folder. You'll see it listed by name—click it to activate, then the shader loads automatically.
Why does my world look too dark or too bright?
Check your brightness slider in Video Settings and make sure your monitor gamma isn't set too low. If shadows feel too harsh, you can reduce shadow intensity in the shader's settings menu (accessed via the Shaders button in Video Settings).
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, this shader works with most mods, but it may conflict with mods that heavily modify lighting or block rendering. Mods that add custom blocks usually work fine as long as they don't override vanilla rendering.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling the shader. How do I fix it?
Lower shadow quality or disable shadow filtering in the shader settings, reduce render distance in Video Settings, or turn off water reflections if they're causing lag. These adjustments let you find a balance between visuals and performance.
