Vivid Fluid Rays is built to optimize graphical rendering so that laptops and budget PCs can maintain fast, steady frame rates. If your computer still experiences occasional stutters in heavy biomes or large bases, you can tune your vanilla and shader settings without giving up clean water reflections or bright sunshine.
Tuning Vanilla Video Settings
1. Press Esc and open Options, then Video Settings.
2. Lower your Render Distance and Simulation Distance by a few chunks. Reducing the amount of open terrain and distant leaves the game draws at once directly lightens the load on sunlight and shadow rendering.
3. Change Graphics or Particles if heavy weather or mob farms cause frame drops.
4. Enable or adjust your frame rate cap so your laptop does not overheat while rendering continuous water waves.
Adjusting Shader Pack Options
1. Go back into your Shaders or Shader Packs menu inside Video Settings.
2. Open the shader pack settings screen for Vivid Fluid Rays.
3. Look for quality profiles or individual toggles related to shadows, reflections, or light rays, and step down any heavy options one notch at a time.
4. Apply the changes and press F3 in your world to monitor your frame rate across both open terrain and water.
