Running Climax Shader Smoothly on Minecraft PE (Phones and Tablets)

Climax Shader is demanding on mobile devices. Here's how to tell whether your device can handle it and how to get the best frame rate.

Check Your Device First

• Minimum: a phone around the level of a Samsung Galaxy S7, which has a Snapdragon 820 CPU and an Adreno 530 GPU, or equivalent hardware.
• Recommended: a phone around the level of a Samsung Galaxy S10, which has a Snapdragon 855 CPU and an Adreno 640 GPU, or equivalent hardware.
• Mali GPUs: the game may crash on devices with Mali graphics chips. If yours has one and keeps crashing when the shader is active, the hardware is the likely cause rather than your settings.

Getting Better FPS

1. Open Settings → Video while in-game.

2. Make sure the graphics mode is Deferred Technical Preview, which is required for the shader.

3. Turn on Upscaling. This is the main setting for better FPS with this pack.

4. Go through the shader settings that appear in this menu. Lower individual options until the game runs smoothly.

If Things Still Go Wrong

• Restart the game completely after changing settings or packs. This clears up odd behavior more often than not.
• If you only want to remove the mob glow effects, you can use the pack's subpack option to disable emissive entities. A full restart is required after changing subpacks.
• If your device is below the minimum level above, expect low frame rates even with Upscaling on.
