Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on VanillaX Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, and select VanillaX from the list. The shaders will activate immediately in your world.
Why is my frame rate dropping even though this is supposed to be low-end friendly?
Check if you have other resource-heavy mods or shaders running alongside VanillaX, and verify your render distance isn't set too high. Try lowering shadow quality or disabling reflections in the shader settings to regain performance.
Can I use VanillaX Shaders with my texture pack?
Yes, VanillaX is designed to work with vanilla textures and most custom texture packs without conflicts. If you notice visual glitches, try disabling reflections temporarily to isolate the issue.
How do I make water look more realistic with VanillaX?
Open the shader settings and look for reflection or water-specific options, then increase the intensity to enhance surface reflections and wave effects. You can fine-tune these values until the water matches your preferred look.
