Troubleshoot Uneven or Incorrect Shading on Custom Blocks

Check Compatibility Settings

Some custom blocks or mod blocks may not render correctly with cel shading if they use non-standard rendering. In shader options, look for custom block support, entity rendering, or compatibility mode toggles. Enabling these may help problematic blocks display proper cel shading.

Verify Block Lighting Data

Ensure the blocks in question have proper light values assigned. Blocks without correct light metadata may appear flat or incorrectly shaded. This is more common with older or poorly-configured mod blocks.

Adjust Ambient Lighting

If certain blocks appear too dark or too bright compared to surroundings, check ambient light or global brightness settings in the shader menu. Sometimes increasing ambient light helps cel shading render custom blocks more consistently with the rest of the world.

Report Persistent Issues

If specific blocks remain visually broken after adjustments, document which blocks are affected and share details with the shader community. Cel shading compatibility varies by block type, and feedback helps identify which mods need special handling.
