GUHAO’s VIX Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if VIX is working after I install it?
Launch the game and look for enhanced particle effects during combat or animations—they should appear smoother and more detailed than vanilla. If you have a compatible combat mod installed, trigger an attack and watch for cinematic camera movement; if the camera smoothly pans during the animation, VIX is active.
Why are my particles still looking low-quality or blocky?
Check that your graphics settings allow shader post-processing and that particle rendering is enabled in VIX's config file. If particles still look poor, verify you're using a compatible combat or animation mod that actually calls VIX's particle system—vanilla Minecraft won't trigger the high-quality effects on its own.
Do I need to install anything else for VIX to work?
VIX works as a standalone graphics library, but it only shows its full potential when paired with mods that support it—typically combat or animation mods. Check the mod's documentation to see which mods are confirmed compatible with VIX's features.
How do I turn on the cinematic camera for animations?
Open VIX's configuration file and locate the cinematic camera setting, then enable it. The feature will automatically activate during character animations in supported mods; you don't need to toggle it in-game.
Can I use VIX with shader mods like Optifine or Iris?
VIX is a post-processing tool that works alongside shader mods, but compatibility depends on how the other mod handles the rendering pipeline. Test both together in a small world first; if you see conflicts or visual glitches, check if there's a known compatibility issue in the mod's documentation.
My game is lagging after installing VIX. What should I do?
VIX's post-processing and particle rendering can be performance-intensive; try lowering particle quality or disabling cinematic camera in the config file. If lag persists, check that your GPU drivers are up to date and that you're not running too many other graphics-heavy mods simultaneously.
Why don't I see cinematic camera angles during combat?
Cinematic camera only works with mods that have built-in support for VIX animations—it won't trigger with vanilla Minecraft combat. Verify that your combat mod is on the compatibility list and that cinematic camera is enabled in VIX's settings.
Can I customize how particles look with VIX?
VIX's particle appearance is controlled through its configuration file; you can adjust quality levels and rendering behavior there. The exact customization options depend on your version, so check the config file comments for available settings.
Does VIX work in multiplayer servers?
VIX is a client-side graphics mod, so it works on multiplayer servers as long as the server allows client-side mods. The visual effects will only appear on your client; other players won't see the enhanced particles or cinematic cameras unless they also have VIX installed.
What should I do if VIX conflicts with another mod?
Check the mod's documentation or community forums for known incompatibilities and load order recommendations. If you find a conflict, try adjusting the mod load order or disabling specific VIX features in the config to see if that resolves the issue.
