Chunk Tweaks Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if Chunk Tweaks Shaders is actually working?
Load into a world and fly or move quickly away from your spawn point—you should see chunks fade in smoothly instead of popping into view suddenly. If blocks still appear instantly at the edge of your render distance, the mod may not be loaded correctly.
Can I use this mod with other shader mods?
Chunk Tweaks Shaders is a lightweight core shader designed to work alongside most other visual mods, but using multiple shader mods that modify chunk rendering or fog may cause conflicts or visual glitches. Test both together in a small world first.
Why do chunks still pop in when I'm flying fast?
Flying faster than the fade animation can complete will cause some chunks to appear before their animation finishes. You can adjust the chunk fade animation speed in the mod's settings to make it faster, or reduce your flight speed.
Does this mod work on servers?
Chunk Tweaks Shaders is a client-side visual mod, so it only needs to be installed on your client—the server does not need it. You can use it on any server without asking permission.
Is this mod causing my lag?
Chunk Tweaks Shaders is designed as a lightweight shader and should not cause significant performance loss on most systems. If you experience lag, try lowering your render distance or disabling the fade animations in the mod settings to see if performance improves.
How do I adjust how fast chunks fade in?
Open the mod's settings or configuration menu (usually accessible from the pause screen or mod menu) and look for fade animation speed or duration options. Increasing the speed value will make chunks appear faster; decreasing it will make the fade effect more gradual.
Can I turn off the fog improvements and keep only the fade animations?
Yes—most configuration options in Chunk Tweaks Shaders can be toggled individually, so you can disable fog rendering changes while keeping chunk fade effects active, or vice versa.
Does this work with Optifine or other performance mods?
Chunk Tweaks Shaders should be compatible with most performance mods, but if you also have Optifine's shader system enabled, disable one or the other to avoid conflicts. Test in a small world first.
Why does distant terrain look blurry or strange?
The mod improves fog blending, which can sometimes make far-away terrain appear softer than before. If this looks wrong, check your fog rendering settings in the mod configuration and adjust the fog distance or blend intensity.
Do I need to install this on my server if my friends are using it?
No—since this is a client-side mod, each player installs it on their own game client. Your server does not need any special setup or files for players to use Chunk Tweaks Shaders.
