Maintain High Frame Rates While Using MotionFlow

Why MotionFlow Preserves Performance

Unlike heavy shader packs that add complex lighting and shadow calculations, MotionFlow focuses exclusively on motion smoothing. This means the shader uses minimal GPU resources, allowing you to maintain high frame rates even on older computers without sacrificing the visual enhancement.

Monitoring Your Frame Rate

Enable the frame rate counter in your Minecraft settings to watch your FPS while playing. With MotionFlow active, you should see little to no performance impact compared to vanilla Minecraft. If you do experience frame drops, they're likely caused by other factors—like render distance or other mods—rather than the shader itself.

Adjusting Motion Blur for Your System

If you want to push frame rates even higher, reduce the motion blur intensity in the shader settings. This is a direct trade-off: lower blur means slightly less visual smoothing but potentially higher FPS. Most players find that even moderate motion blur settings have negligible performance cost.

The vanilla-style aesthetic of MotionFlow means you're not competing with fancy graphics for GPU power—just smooth motion.
