Get the Highest Frame Rates on a Low-End PC or Integrated Graphics

PR1SMLITE is built for budget setups, potato hardware and integrated graphics chips. It skips heavy effects so you keep high frame rates. Your vanilla video settings still matter, though, so tune them alongside the pack.

Tune Vanilla Video Settings

Open Options > Video Settings with PR1SMLITE active and adjust these:

1. Render Distance: This has the biggest impact on performance. Lower it a few chunks at a time until your frame rate feels smooth.

2. Simulation Distance: Lower it too if your loader or game version shows it. This reduces work on weaker CPUs.

3. Graphics: Try the faster option and compare how it feels.

4. Clouds: Switch them to fast or off.

5. Particles: Set to decreased or minimal during busy fights or large farms.

6. Max Framerate: Set this to match your monitor so your machine isn't rendering frames you can't see.

7. Fullscreen: Running fullscreen is often smoother than windowed on integrated chips.

Check the Pack's Own Options

In the Shader Packs screen, select PR1SMLITE and open its settings button, if your loader shows one. Look for anything related to bloom strength or quality. Turning an effect down can win back a few frames if you still need them.

Test Your Changes

Walk through a busy area, such as a village or your base at night. If the game stutters, lower render distance one more step before touching anything else.
