Most likely you hardware can't handle shadows. Mind posting your PC Specs?

if you can't run higher shaders I'm pretty sure they get greyed out

No they just get turned off and I get a console error:

there's your problem

This, most likely.

Update your drivers anyway.

Well as you can tell it's an integrated graphics card, and I just got my laptop so I don't plan to buy a new one anytime soon.

I'm in the same boat. I can only run them on minimum and I don't even do that because it lags too much.

Yes, I have two gpus, one being the same intel you have.

At first, Blockland THINKS it can run high shaders but then it discovers it can't.


blockland shaders don't like intel integrated graphics. you likely won't be able to run them for a long time, if ever.

Nah, we can run them. They work on minimum (very laggy) with no shadows. So at least they work a bit.

Just to prove how awful Intel is: I can run max settings 11 fps with my integrated amd card. I probably run with just the shaders upwards of 100 fps.

I run on minimum shaders and still get 30 fps.
