Frequently asked questions

How do I actually turn on POM and PBR after installing Optimum Realism?

POM and PBR are shader features, so you need a shader that supports them (like a PBR-capable shaderpack) loaded through Iris or OptiFine, plus the resource pack enabled above vanilla. In the shader settings, enable the parallax/POM option and make sure normal and specular maps are being read, otherwise blocks stay flat.

Why do my blocks look flat with no depth even though the pack is on?

This almost always means POM is off in your shader settings or the shader you're using doesn't support parallax occlusion mapping. Check that the resource pack is at the top of your pack list and that your shader's parallax depth is set above zero.

Do I need OptiFine or Iris for this pack to work?

You need one of them, because vanilla Minecraft can't read PBR or POM data. Iris with a compatible shader is the common choice on modern versions, while OptiFine works on older setups; the pack itself just supplies the textures and maps.

My leaves and plants look wrong or see-through with POM on. How do I fix it?

Foliage uses cutout transparency, which POM handles differently than solid blocks, so depth can look broken or leaves can vanish at certain angles. Lower the parallax depth for cutout materials or disable POM specifically for plants in your shader settings if the option exists.
