Zayko Lite Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn on Zayko Lite Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Zayko Lite from the list. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why is my game running slow with this shader?
Check your shader settings—try disabling fantasy lighting effects or lowering shadow quality in the shader options menu. If performance is still poor, your computer may need optimization; see the performance adjustment guide for your specific hardware.
What's the difference between fantasy lighting on and off?
Fantasy lighting on adds bright, stylized colors and enhanced shadows for a more dramatic look; turning it off gives you cleaner, more realistic lighting that uses fewer resources.
Does Zayko Lite work with mods that change blocks or lighting?
Zayko Lite is generally compatible with most mods, but mods that heavily modify light sources or block rendering may cause visual conflicts; test in-game and adjust shader settings if needed.
Why do some blocks look wrong or have weird shadows?
This usually happens with custom blocks from other mods or transparent blocks. Try adjusting shadow settings in the shader menu, or disable fantasy lighting to see if that fixes the issue.
Can I use Zayko Lite on a multiplayer server?
Yes, shaders run client-side only, so they don't affect the server. However, on large servers with many players and entities, you may need to lower shader settings to maintain good frame rates.
Does this shader work on old or low-end computers?
Zayko Lite is designed to run on most machines, but very old hardware may struggle; start with fantasy lighting disabled and lower shadow quality, then adjust upward until you find your balance.
How do I adjust the brightness or contrast?
Open the shader settings menu (usually accessible from Video Settings) and look for brightness, contrast, or exposure sliders to fine-tune the look to your preference.
Why does the sky look different or washed out?
This is often caused by fantasy lighting settings or time of day in your world. Try adjusting the sky brightness in shader options, or check if you're playing at sunrise/sunset when colors naturally shift.
Can I use Zayko Lite with other shader packs at the same time?
No, only one shader pack can be active at a time. You'll need to switch between them in your shader settings menu.
