Adjusting Graphics Settings
PBR resource packs are visually demanding. To maintain smooth gameplay while enjoying realistic textures, configure your video settings:
- Open Options > Video Settings
- Set Render Distance to 8–12 chunks (lower if you experience lag)
- Enable Mipmaps (set to 2–4 levels) to reduce texture flickering at distance
- Disable or reduce Particles if performance dips
- Turn off Fancy Graphics if needed; Fast Graphics still displays PBR details
Using Shader Compatibility
PBR packs work best with compatible shaders that enhance lighting and reflections. If you're using a shader mod:
- Ensure your shader supports normal maps and specular maps
- Test shader settings on lower quality first
- Some shaders may conflict with PBR; disable problematic ones
- Monitor frame rate and adjust shader intensity accordingly
If performance remains poor, consider using the pack without shaders—PBR textures still provide significant visual improvement on their own.
