Maintain High Framerates on Low-End Hardware

Choose the Right Preset for Your System

Baunilha Shaders is optimized for low-end machines. Start with the Potato preset—it delivers noticeable visual improvements (soft shadows and depth) while keeping performance impact minimal. This preset is the best starting point if your system struggles with other shaders.

Monitor Performance

After applying a preset, check your framerates in different environments:

• Open flat terrain (usually highest FPS)
• Dense forests with many trees
• Underground caves
• Areas with water

If you see significant frame drops in any area, stick with your current preset or drop to a lower one.

Further Optimization Tips

• Reduce render distance: Lower chunk rendering in Video Settings to improve overall performance.
• Disable fancy graphics: Turn off clouds and advanced particles if needed.
• Close background programs: Free up system RAM before playing.
• Update drivers: Ensure your graphics card drivers are current.

Baunilha's design means even the Potato preset provides meaningful visual enhancement. You don't need high-end hardware to enjoy the shader's clean shadows and depth.
