Frequently asked questions

How do I switch between the Potato and Ultimate presets?
Go to Video Settings, open the Shaders menu, and click Shader Pack Settings while LumaLite Shaders is active. Cycle through the profile option to pick any of the eight graphics presets from Potato up to Ultimate, then click Done to apply it.
What changes when I raise the preset from Potato toward Ultimate?
The Potato preset strips back heavy visual effects so budget graphics hardware can maintain high frame rates. Moving up through the eight profiles toward Ultimate turns on clean water reflections, soft bloom lighting, detailed drifting clouds, and bright god-rays.
How do I stop lag on a low-end graphics card?
Switch your shader profile down toward the Potato preset in Shader Pack Settings to cut down the GPU workload right away. You should also lower your vanilla render distance and shadow distance in Video Settings, as shading distant chunks costs a lot of frames.
Does LumaLite Shaders run well on a Mac with Apple Silicon?
Yes, LumaLite is designed to run smoothly on Apple Silicon systems with high frame rates. If your screen resolution causes slight slowdowns on high-density displays, step down from Ultimate to a midrange preset until gameplay feels smooth.
