Frequently asked questions

Do I need a special shader to use this resource pack?

No — BetterRTX Remastered works with most popular community shaders, and will still improve your visuals with standard shader setups. For the best results with realistic reflections and depth, pair it with shaders that support normal and specular maps.

Why do my blocks look flat even with the resource pack installed?

Make sure your shader is actually loading and that it supports normal map rendering. Check your shader settings to enable features like parallax mapping or normal map interpretation — some shaders have these disabled by default.

What's the difference between normal maps and specular maps in this pack?

Normal maps add the illusion of bumps and surface detail by changing how light reflects across a block's surface. Specular maps control which surfaces shine (like metal or wet stone) and which stay dull, making reflections look realistic.

Can I use this pack with ray tracing on Java Edition?

This pack replicates the

Bedrock RTX look but doesn't enable true ray tracing on Java Edition — that requires dedicated hardware and software support Java doesn't have. However, compatible shaders create very similar realistic lighting and reflection effects.
