Frequently asked questions

How do I enable AALab Shaders after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, navigate to Shaders, and select AALab Shaders from the list. The shader will activate immediately, though you may need to restart your world for all effects to fully apply.
What's the difference between the visual presets?
Presets range from potato-friendly lightweight profiles to high-end fantasy styles; vanilla presets keep your world looking close to unmodded Minecraft, while cursed presets apply unusual and experimental visual effects. Choose based on your hardware and desired aesthetic.
Which preset should I use if my game is lagging?
Start with a potato or low-tier preset, which use minimal anti-aliasing and lighting effects to preserve performance. You can gradually test higher presets to find the balance between visuals and frame rate that works for your PC.
Can I mix and match settings from different presets?
Yes, you can customize individual anti-aliasing modes and lighting settings independently through the shader options menu, even if you start from a preset as your base.
