Godot shader language is one of the easiest ones to use of any engine. Letting visual shaders aside, the shading language is a very tidy and self-contained version of GLSL ES 3.0, Shaders can take take inputs, modify them and produce outputs.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. First of all, you need to make sure your meshes have an UV2 layer. Godot lightmapper works with one texture per mesh, so sharing UVs between meshes will not give you more optimization.
