Running Cosinus Shaders on Low-End Hardware

Optimizing for Potato Computers

Cosinus is designed specifically as a lightweight alternative to heavy visual packs. Because it focuses on screen-level math distortions rather than intensive lighting overhauls, it runs smoothly on low-end hardware without causing major frame drops.

Adjusting Settings for Consistent Frame Rates

If you are playing on a lower-end system, pair the shader with standard performance adjustments:

1. Open Options and go to Video Settings.

2. Set your Render Distance to a moderate level that your computer comfortably supports.

3. Keep graphics settings like particles or entity shadows at standard or reduced levels.

Because Cosinus maintains the simple look of vanilla blocks and vanilla lighting, your computer does not need to compute complex shadows, reflections, or heavy post-processing passes. You can enjoy the strange, flipped visual rules of the cosine waves while keeping your gameplay fluid and responsive.
