Verifying Natural Lighting and Gameplay Performance

Checking Natural Brightness Across Biomes

Crystalism Shaders improves world lighting by providing balanced, natural brightness across the environment while preserving realistic block details.

1. Walk between open plains, covered forests, and shaded areas to examine the overall lighting transitions.

2. Check that daylight illuminates blocks clearly without excessive glare or unnatural contrast.

3. Ensure shadowed areas retain adequate visibility so that block details remain recognizable during regular exploration.

Monitoring Framerate Stability

This shader pack is designed to maintain solid frame rates during normal gameplay while rendering realistic visual details.

1. Press F3 to open the vanilla debug screen and locate the current frame rate counter.

2. Move through your world by sprinting, jumping, and traversing loaded chunks.

3. Turn your camera rapidly to confirm that camera pans remain smooth.

4. Verify that frame rates remain solid and consistent both near reflective water bodies and in complex terrain with active sun shadows.
