Zenith’s LUT Shaders FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I apply a LUT to my world?
Open your shader settings menu in-game and look for the LUT or color profile option. Select from the available lookup tables to instantly change your world's color tone—no restart needed.
Will this shader pack make my game lag?
No, Zenith's LUT Shaders is designed to run smoothly on older hardware by using simple color lookup tables instead of complex real-time calculations. You should see little to no frame rate drop.
Can I use this with other shader packs?
No, you can only use one shader pack at a time in Minecraft. If you want to switch between this and another shader, you'll need to disable one before enabling the other.
Does this mod change how blocks look or just the colors?
Only the colors change—your blocks, items, and textures stay exactly the same. The mod applies a color filter over the entire screen without altering the vanilla art style.
Why does my water look weird after installing this?
The LUT shader applies its color tone to water and sky, which can make them look tinted or desaturated depending on which lookup table you chose. Try switching to a different LUT profile if you don't like the effect.
How do I switch between different color presets?
Access your shader options menu (usually by pressing a key like Shift+O or through Video Settings) and cycle through the available LUT presets until you find one you like.
Does this work on servers or only single-player?
Shaders are client-side only, so they work on both single-player and multiplayer servers. Other players won't see your color changes—only you will.
Can I make my own custom LUT?
This depends on the mod's configuration options—check if there's a custom LUT folder in your shader files where you can add your own lookup table images.
Why is my game still running slowly with this shader?
Make sure you're not running other heavy mods or resource packs at the same time, and check that your graphics driver is up to date. If performance is still poor, try lowering your render distance or disabling other visual enhancements.
Does this shader affect caves and underground areas?
Yes, the LUT color filter applies everywhere in your world, including caves and underground. The color tone will be consistent whether you're above ground or deep below.
