Frequently asked questions

What does LB Photo Realism Reload actually change?
It replaces vanilla textures for blocks, items, and environmental elements with high-resolution photographic imagery for a realistic look. It's a resource pack, so it changes visuals only and doesn't add new items or blocks.
How do I turn it on after installing it?
Open Options, go to Resource Packs, and move LB Photo Realism Reload from Available to Selected, then confirm. If it doesn't appear, make sure the pack folder is in the correct resourcepacks directory.
Why is my game lagging or stuttering after I enabled it?
High-resolution textures use much more VRAM and GPU power than vanilla, so lower your render distance and mipmap levels first. If stuttering continues, reduce the pack's resolution variant or disable other resource packs running alongside it.
Do I need shaders to make it look good?
No, but shaders and adjusted lighting settings make the photorealistic textures look much more natural. Without them the pack still works, though flat vanilla lighting can make the textures look mismatched.
