Access the Shader Menu

Press the Shader Settings key (default: O) while in-game to open the configuration panel. This menu lets you fine-tune visual quality without restarting Minecraft.

Choose Your Hardware Preset

The mod includes three presets optimized for different systems:

  • Potato: Minimal lighting effects; use this if you're on an older laptop or integrated graphics
  • Low: Balanced visuals with reduced shadow detail; good for mid-range GPUs
  • Medium: Full feature set including soft shadows and reflections; for modern hardware

Select your preset from the main shader options. Your frame rate should stabilize within seconds.

Fine-Tune Individual Settings

If you want more control, adjust sliders for:

  • Shadow softness and distance
  • Reflection intensity on water
  • Sky brightness
  • Overall lighting intensity

Make small changes and observe the impact on your FPS counter. If performance drops, reduce shadow distance or reflection quality first—these affect frame rate most noticeably.
