Frequently asked questions

How do I enable PrimeCinematic Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then select PrimeCinematic Shaders from the list. If you don't see it, make sure Iris is installed and the shader pack is in your shaderpacks folder.
Which preset should I use if my game is running slowly?
Start with the Performance preset, which reduces shadow detail and volumetric effects to maintain smooth framerates. You can move up to higher presets once you confirm your system can handle them.
Why don't I see volumetric light rays in my world?
Volumetric rays are most visible during daytime and sunset when the sun is low or at an angle. They're also more pronounced in areas with particles or fog; try looking toward the sun from a valley or forest for the best effect.
Can I use PrimeCinematic Shaders with other mods?
Yes, it works with most mods, but mods that heavily modify rendering (like other shader packs or advanced lighting mods) will conflict. Mods that add blocks or entities are fully compatible.
