Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader effects after installing the mod?
The mod activates automatically once installed—you should see the mist and adjusted lighting the next time you load a world. If you don't see changes, check that the mod is enabled in your mod loader's configuration and that you're not using conflicting shader packs.
Why does my water look different at night than during the day?
The mod intentionally adjusts water transparency and reflectivity based on the time of day to create a more cinematic look—water appears clearer and more reflective under moonlight, while daytime water has different properties. This is a core feature, not a bug.
How often do Blood Moons happen?
Blood Moons are rare random events that occur during nighttime; the exact frequency depends on the mod's settings, but they're infrequent enough that you may need to play multiple nights to witness one. You can predict them by watching the sky or checking your world's moon cycle progression.
Can I adjust how thick the mist is?
Yes—the mod includes configuration options for mist intensity and haze distance that you can modify through the mod's config file or in-game settings menu, depending on your mod loader. Lowering these values reduces the haze, while increasing them makes the world foggier.
