Tuning Vanilla Video Settings
Upaama Shaders is designed to maintain smooth performance while rendering cinematic lighting and shadows, though real-time shadows under trees, blocks, and mobs still add workload alongside your normal game settings. If your frame rate dips in dense biomes or large builds, adjust your core video options first:
1. Press Esc, open Options, and go to Video Settings.
2. Lower your Render Distance and Simulation Distance by a few chunks so fewer distant landscapes and mobs require shadow and lighting updates.
3. Reduce Entity Shadows or lower general Graphics and Biome Blend settings if stutters happen when moving quickly across biomes.
Adjusting Shader Pack Options
Most shader loaders let you customize how demanding the active pack is without disabling it completely:
1. Go back into Video Settings and open the Shaders menu.
2. Open the Shader Pack Settings or Pack Options screen while Upaama Shaders is selected.
3. Look for overall profile presets or individual toggles related to shadows, sky effects, or water quality, and step down the heaviest options until your frame rate feels responsive during normal gameplay.
