Question 1

Do I need to install Only Shadows Shader on the client or the server?

Accepted Answer

The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.

Question 2

What licence is Only Shadows Shader under?

Accepted Answer

LicenseRef-All-Rights-Reserved, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

Question 3

How do I install Only Shadows Shader?

Accepted Answer

You need a shader loader first: Iris (with Sodium) or OptiFine. Put the downloaded file in your shaderpacks folder and select it in the video settings shader screen. The shader loader, not the pack, decides which Minecraft versions work.

Question 4

Where do I download Only Shadows Shader safely?

Accepted Answer

MCReference has no release file or checksum recorded for Only Shadows Shader. Check the publisher's Modrinth listing for current downloads and verify the publisher before installing.

Question 5

Which Minecraft versions does Only Shadows Shader work on?

Accepted Answer

The author has not declared a supported version in the metadata we sync, so there is nothing here we can state as fact. Check the project's own page before installing it, and treat an old shader pack with no declared version as untested on modern Minecraft.
