Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Renderlines Shaders once I am in the game?
Open Options, go to Video Settings, open your Shaders menu, and click Renderlines Shaders in the list. Wait a moment for the renderer to reload, then return to your world.
How can I tell if the shader is actually working since my game still looks vanilla?
Look closely at trees, plants, and distant terrain. Because Renderlines preserves the core vanilla aesthetic, you will see subtle foliage shading, cleaner leaf details, and refreshed ambient lighting rather than dramatic visual overhauls.
Will this lag or stutter on a potato PC?
It runs on low-end computers with minimal impact on frame rates and avoids causing stutter. If your system still struggles, try lowering your vanilla render distance slightly while keeping the shader enabled.
Does FPS drop in dense forests or around huge bases?
Performance stays stable around both large player builds and dense forests. The leaf detailing and lighting upgrades are lightweight enough that heavy concentrations of foliage and blocks will not bog down your frame rate.
