Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Options menu in-game, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Booxyx Optimized Shaders in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the lighting and shadows take effect immediately.
My game is running slow even with this shader. What should I do?
Open the shader settings (usually by pressing a key like Right Shift or through Video Settings) and switch to the Potato preset, which reduces shadow quality and reflection detail. If still slow, lower your render distance or disable water reflections in the shader options.
Why do my shadows look blocky or pixelated?
This is normal on lower presets—Potato and Low intentionally reduce shadow resolution to maintain frame rate. If you want smoother shadows, switch to the Medium preset, but expect a small performance cost.
Can I use this shader with other mods?
Yes, Booxyx Optimized Shaders works with most mods, but avoid using multiple shader packs at once. Some mods that heavily modify lighting or block rendering may conflict—test in-game to confirm compatibility.
