Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open the Options menu, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find Rev's Better Shaders in the list and click it to activate. You'll need Iris installed for the shader menu to appear.
Why do my shadows look blocky or pixelated?
Shadow quality is likely set too low. Open the shader options (usually by pressing a key in-game or through Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options) and increase the shadow resolution or quality slider to smooth them out.
Can I use this shader with Optifine instead of Iris?
No, this shader is designed for Iris and won't work with Optifine. Make sure you have Iris installed instead.
My water doesn't reflect the sky—what's wrong?
Water reflections may be disabled in the shader options. Check your shader settings for a reflection or water quality option and enable it, or verify that your graphics card supports the feature.
