Frequently asked questions
How do I turn on the shadowy path effect after installing this mod?
The effect is enabled by default once the mod is loaded alongside Sodium, so existing dirt paths should immediately show the shadowy edges. If you don't see it, open the mod's settings through Sodium's video settings menu and make sure the effect is toggled on.
Where do I find the Shadowyness setting?
It lives in the Sodium video settings screen, under the section added by this mod. Open Sodium's settings from the video options menu and look for the Shadowy Path Blocks options page.
What does the Shadowyness slider actually change?
It controls how strong the darkening at the edges of path blocks appears. Lower values give a subtle shading, while higher values make the shadow effect more pronounced and dramatic.
Can I apply the shadow effect to farmland, slabs and stairs too?
Yes, the mod includes a toggle to extend the effect beyond just path blocks. Enable the option for other non-full blocks and farmland, slabs and stairs will receive the same shadowy edge treatment.
