Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the shader after installing it?
Open your video settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select TheMaxFPS Shaders from the list. The shaders will activate immediately and you'll see the lighting and visual effects take effect.
Why is my game running slowly with this shader?
Check your shadow distance and quality settings in the shader options—these have the biggest impact on performance. Lowering shadow quality or distance, or disabling bloom, will improve frame rates on lower-end hardware.
Can I use this shader with OptiFine and Iris, or do I have to pick one?
TheMaxFPS Shaders works with both OptiFine and Iris, so you can use whichever loader you prefer without compatibility issues.
How do I make the water look better?
Open the shader settings and look for water or liquid visual options—you can adjust wave intensity, reflections, and transparency to enhance how water and lava appear.
