Adjusting Shader Settings for Your Hardware

Access Shader Options

Open your pause menu while in-game and look for the Shader Options or Video Settings panel. This is where you control how the shader behaves on your system.

Key Settings to Tweak

Shadow Quality: Lower this setting if you experience frame drops. Reducing shadow detail is the most effective way to improve performance on older machines without losing the shader's core look.

Lighting Intensity: Adjust how bright or dim the shader makes your world. If shadows feel too dark or light too harsh, this slider lets you find a comfortable balance.

Vanilla Compatibility Mode: Enable this if you want the shader to stay closer to standard Minecraft lighting. This reduces visual changes while keeping performance stable.

Testing Your Changes

After adjusting settings, spend a few minutes exploring different biomes and times of day. Watch your frame counter to ensure performance stays smooth. If you're still experiencing lag, lower shadow quality further—this mod is designed to work on weak hardware, so don't hesitate to reduce visual complexity.
