Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on SXGG Realis Shaders in game?
Open your Minecraft Options menu, go to Video Settings, and select Shaders (or Shader Packs). Click on SXGG Realis Shaders in the list and apply your changes to load the lighting effects.
Why isn't there a Shaders button in my Video Settings?
Minecraft cannot load shader packs on its own without a shader loader mod active. Make sure you are launching the game with a compatible shader loader such as Iris or OptiFine.
Does SXGG Realis Shaders need to be on the server to play multiplayer?
No, shader packs are strictly client-side and only change how your own computer renders lighting and shadows. You can use it on any multiplayer server without the server needing it installed.
How can I reduce lag while using SXGG Realis Shaders?
Open the Shader Options menu and lower the shadow quality or shadow distance settings first, as dynamic shadows use the most resources. Reducing your overall Minecraft render distance in Video Settings will also boost your framerate.
