Maximize Visual Quality on High-End Hardware

Select the Ultra Performance Profile

If your PC can handle it, choose the Ultra preset in Shader Options. This enables all features: full path-traced lighting, detailed water reflections, soft shadows, and bloom effects.

Push Quality Settings to Maximum

Once on Ultra, increase individual settings for even better visuals:

  • Path Tracing Samples: Increase for smoother, more realistic global illumination
  • Shadow Quality: Maximize for softer, more natural shadow transitions
  • Reflection Quality: Set to highest for crystal-clear water reflections
  • Bloom Intensity: Increase for more prominent glow around torches and glowing blocks
  • Render Distance: Increase to load more terrain; shaders will illuminate it all

Explore Colored Lighting

With high-quality settings enabled, colored lighting becomes very noticeable. Place glowing blocks (like amethyst or neon-colored light sources) near darker areas to see how Lumeon's colored lighting illuminates surroundings with realistic color bleeding.

Test in Different Conditions

Visit various biomes and times of day to see how path-traced shadows and reflections change. Sunrise and sunset provide the most dramatic lighting effects. Monitor FPS with F3 to ensure your hardware maintains smooth performance.
