ToasterFX Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable ToasterFX Shaders after installing it?

Open your Video Settings, go to Shaders, and select the ToasterFX Shaders pack from your shader folder. The shaders will activate immediately and you'll see the lighting changes take effect.

Why do my shaders look too dark or too bright?

Use the shader options screen (usually accessed by pressing a hotkey in-game or through Video Settings) to adjust the brightness and contrast sliders until the lighting matches your preference. Different monitor setups may need different values.

Can I use ToasterFX Shaders with other mods?

Yes, ToasterFX works with most mods, but avoid using multiple shader packs at once and be cautious with mods that heavily modify lighting or block rendering. Test your setup to ensure stability.

My frame rate dropped after installing shaders. How do I fix it?

Lower your render distance, disable shadow rendering in shader options, reduce your resolution, or lower other video settings like clouds and particles. ToasterFX is optimized for low-end systems, but your specific hardware may need tuning.

Do I need Iris to use ToasterFX Shaders?

Yes, ToasterFX Shaders is built specifically for the Iris shader mod, so you must have Iris installed for the shaders to work.

Why do some biomes look washed out or have weird colors?

Open the shader settings and check the biome color customization options to adjust saturation, hue, or tone for specific biomes. You can also reset to defaults if a previous change caused the issue.

Will ToasterFX Shaders work on my old laptop?

ToasterFX is designed for low-end and older hardware, but very old systems may still struggle; start with low shader settings and gradually increase them to find what your laptop can handle smoothly.

How do I turn off the shaders without uninstalling them?

Go to Video Settings > Shaders and select 'None' or 'Off' to disable shaders while keeping the mod installed. You can re-enable ToasterFX anytime from the same menu.

Can I customize the sky color and lighting in different biomes?

Yes, most shader options include biome color and sky tone adjustments; access these through the shader settings menu to fine-tune how each biome looks.

Why is my game stuttering even though I have good frame rates?

Stuttering can come from shader compilation on first load, insufficient RAM, or conflicting mods; try increasing allocated RAM, reducing render distance, or disabling other resource-heavy mods to isolate the cause.
