Troubleshoot Visual Artifacts or Flickering

Check Iris Compatibility

Flickering or visual glitches often stem from Iris loader version mismatches. Verify you're running a recent, stable Iris build compatible with your Minecraft version.

Reset Shader Settings

Corrupted or conflicting shader options can cause artifacts. Reset BitNixelet to default settings by finding the "Reset" or "Default" button in shader options, then reapply your preferences gradually.

Disable Conflicting Features

If specific visual elements flicker (water, shadows, sky), try disabling:

• Reflections – Often the culprit for water artifacts
• Volumetric Effects – Can cause banding or flickering in sky
• Shadow Filtering – May create temporal artifacts

Lower Shadow Distance

Flickering shadows often improve when shadow render distance is reduced. Test lower values to isolate the issue.

Verify GPU Drivers

Outdated graphics drivers can cause shader incompatibilities. Update your GPU drivers and restart Minecraft.
