Configure Block Depth and PBR Materials

Understanding Block Depth

Block depth uses PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials to add bumps, grooves, and realistic surface details to standard Minecraft blocks. This makes stone look weathered, wood show grain, and metal appear polished.

Adjusting PBR Settings

1. Open shader options (usually Right Shift)

2. Find the Materials, PBR, or Parallax section

3. Enable Parallax Mapping or Normal Mapping if not already active

4. Adjust the Parallax Depth or Normal Strength slider to control how pronounced the bumps appear

5. Higher values create more dramatic 3D effects; lower values are more subtle

Texture Upscaling

The shader automatically upscales your texture pack for sharper detail. If blocks appear too bumpy or unrealistic:

Reduce the parallax depth slider
Ensure your texture pack resolution matches the shader's expectations
Test with different texture packs—some work better with PBR than others

Block depth is purely visual and doesn't affect gameplay, collision, or building mechanics.
