Troubleshoot Visual Glitches and Artifacts

Common Issues and Solutions

Z-Fighting or Flickering Surfaces: This occurs when rounded geometry creates overlapping surfaces. Reduce the curvature intensity setting or lower your render distance to minimize the effect.

Texture Stretching on Curved Blocks: Smoothing can distort how textures map onto rounded surfaces. Enable any texture correction options in shader settings, or switch to a resource pack with simpler, more forgiving textures.

Performance Stuttering in Specific Biomes: Certain terrain types (like mountains or caves) may cause frame drops due to complex geometry. Lower smoothness settings in shader options or reduce render distance in those areas.

Resetting to Defaults

If visual problems persist, reset shader settings to default values through the shader menu. This helps identify whether a specific configuration caused the issue.

Reporting Persistent Problems

If glitches remain after troubleshooting, document which biomes, blocks, or settings trigger the problem. Check community forums or issue trackers—others may have encountered the same artifact and found workarounds.
