Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your shader options menu (usually accessed through Video Settings), navigate to the Shaders section, and select Vivid Cinematic Lighting from your shader list. The shader will activate immediately once selected.
Why do my god rays look too bright or too faint?
Adjust the god ray intensity setting in the shader's in-game menu—look for volumetric lighting or god ray options under the customization settings. You can fine-tune the appearance to match your preferred cinematic look.
Can I use this shader with OptiFine and Iris at the same time?
No, you should use either OptiFine or Iris as your shader loader, not both simultaneously. The shader works with both loaders independently, so choose whichever one you prefer.
My shadows look choppy or don't match the sun position—what's wrong?
Check the shadow quality setting in the shader menu and lower it if your frame rate is dropping, or increase it if shadows appear pixelated. Make sure your render distance isn't set too high, as this can affect shadow rendering quality.
