Switching Between the Five Hardware Presets

Tint Shaders includes five built-in preset profiles designed to scale from low-end computers up to stronger hardware setups. Once the pack is in your shaderpacks folder and you have a shader loader like Iris or OptiFine active, you can switch between these modes directly from your video menu.

Selecting a Preset Profile

1. Open the pause menu in a world (or from the title screen) and go to Options, then Video Settings.

2. Click Shader Packs (in Iris) or Shaders (in OptiFine) and select Tint Shaders from the list to activate it.

3. Open the Shader Pack Settings or Shader Options menu located in the corner of the shader selection screen.

4. Locate the profile or preset selector in the settings screen and cycle through the five available modes until you find one suited to your computer's speed.

5. Apply the changes and return to your world to let the shaders reload.

Testing Your Chosen Mode

Walk through an active area of your world—such as an indoor base with windows opening to the outside—and check your framerate using the F3 debug screen. Because all five modes retain crisp, blocky visuals and clean vanilla-style shadows, stepping down a tier preserves the core look of your world while freeing up performance. If your framerate remains high and steady, step up to the next profile to increase lighting fidelity.
