Fix Visual Artifacts and Glitches

Identify Common Issues

Artifacts in Bloomy Shaders typically appear as:

  • Flickering shadows or light banding
  • Color banding in gradients
  • Misaligned shadows on moving objects
  • Overly bright or dark patches

Reset to Default Settings

If artifacts appear after customization, reset shader options to defaults. This isolates whether your changes caused the problem.

Adjust Shadow Precision

Lower shadow softness and intensity values slightly. Over-aggressive shadow settings can cause banding and flickering, especially on lower-end hardware.

Clear Shader Cache

Delete your shader cache files (usually in .minecraft/shaderpacks/ or your launcher's cache folder). Restart the game to rebuild the cache fresh.

Check Compatibility

Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers often cause rendering glitches. Verify your GPU supports the shader's minimum requirements.

Report Persistent Issues

If artifacts persist after these steps, document them with screenshots and check community forums or issue trackers for known problems and workarounds.
