Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the depth of field effect after installing the shader?
Load into a world, open your shader options menu (usually accessed through video settings), and enable the shader pack from the list. The blur effect should activate immediately on distant terrain.
Why is everything blurry, even things close to me?
Your focus distance is set too far away. Adjust the focus distance setting in the shader options to bring the sharp zone closer to your character, or reduce the blur intensity slider to make distant blur less aggressive.
Can I turn off the blur for building or PvP?
Yes—either disable the shader entirely through your shader menu, or look for a toggle option in the shader settings to turn off depth of field while keeping other effects active.
Does this shader work with other mods like OptiFine or Sodium?
This shader is designed to work with standard shader loaders; compatibility depends on your specific mod setup, so test it in your world to confirm performance and visual compatibility.
