Neoculus Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I load a shader pack after installing Neoculus?
Open the Shader Packs menu from your Video Settings, then select a shader pack from your shaders folder. The mod will load it immediately, and you can toggle it on or off anytime without restarting the game.
Can I use old OptiFine shader packs with Neoculus?
Yes, Neoculus is designed to run OptiFine shader packs without any modifications needed. Simply place the shader pack zip file in your shaders folder and select it from the menu.
Why is my frame rate dropping when I enable shaders?
Shader packs are demanding; try lowering your render distance, disabling advanced shader features in the shader settings, or reducing your resolution. Check the Performance Optimization guide for more detailed tweaks specific to your hardware.
Do shader packs work with other mods installed?
Yes, Neoculus is built to work alongside most mods. However, mods that heavily modify rendering (like certain lighting or visual mods) may conflict; see the compatibility guide for known issues and workarounds.
What does 'Accelerated Rendering' mean?
This feature uses your graphics card to draw items and text faster than the CPU normally would, which can improve overall performance when shaders are active.
How do I fix a shader pack that looks broken or has missing textures?
First, try disabling and re-enabling the shader pack. If that doesn't work, check the Troubleshoot Shader Pack Issues guide, which covers common problems like incompatible shader versions or conflicting mods.
What is the Swaying Garden feature?
Swaying Garden makes modded plants and flowers move naturally with the wind, adding visual life to your world when shaders are enabled.
Can I use multiple shader packs at the same time?
No, you can only have one shader pack active at a time. You can quickly switch between them from the Shader Packs menu without restarting.
Do I need OptiFine installed to use Neoculus?
No, Neoculus is a standalone mod that doesn't require OptiFine. It brings Iris-style shader support directly to NeoForge.
Why does my shader pack look different than in videos I've seen?
Shader appearance varies based on your graphics card, driver version, and in-game settings. Check the shader's own settings menu to adjust features like shadow quality, water reflections, and lighting intensity to match your preference.
