Frequently asked questions

How do I enable BitNixelet Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft with Iris installed, open Video Settings, select Shaders, then browse to your BitNixelet shader file and activate it. The shader will apply immediately to your world.
Why does my game look washed out or too dark with BitNixelet?
Check the Shader Options menu (usually accessible from Video Settings) and adjust the Lighting Intensity or Brightness slider to match your preference. BitNixelet's soft lighting can feel different from vanilla, so tweaking these values helps you find your ideal look.
Can I use BitNixelet on a really old or low-end computer?
Yes—BitNixelet is specifically designed for budget hardware and low-end PCs. If you still experience lag, reduce your render distance, disable advanced shader options in the settings menu, or lower your resolution.
Does BitNixelet work with resource packs?
Yes, BitNixelet works alongside most resource packs, though the visual style may blend differently depending on the pack's color palette and textures. Test with your preferred pack to see how they interact.
