Troubleshoot Grayscale Not Applying or Looking Wrong

Confirm Shader is Active

Verify the shader is enabled in your graphics settings. Check that Velyra Grayscale Shaders appears in your active shader list, not in an inactive folder. Restart the game after enabling if changes don't appear immediately.

Check Compatibility

Grayscale shaders work best with vanilla rendering. If you're using resource packs with custom colors or other shaders simultaneously, they may conflict. Disable other visual mods temporarily to isolate the issue.

Verify Lighting is Working

If the world appears uniformly gray with no contrast, lighting may not be rendering correctly. This typically indicates a conflict with another mod or incorrect shader installation. Try:

  • Disabling other rendering mods
  • Reloading the shader
  • Testing in a new world

Adjust for Low Performance

If the shader causes lag, grayscale conversion may be competing with other processes. Reduce render distance or disable advanced lighting features in shader settings. The mod is designed for low-end hardware, but conflicts with heavy mods can cause slowdown.

Check for Updates

If appearance seems off, ensure you're using a compatible version with your Minecraft edition and loader.
