PureCraft Shaders FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on PureCraft Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then select PureCraft Shaders from the list and click Apply. You'll see the changes take effect immediately in your world.
My game is running slow with PureCraft Shaders enabled. What should I do?
Lower the shader intensity in the shader settings menu, disable optional effects like camera focus or enhanced weather, and ensure your render distance isn't set too high. PureCraft is designed to run on older hardware, but very high settings still require decent specs.
Can I use PureCraft Shaders with other mods?
Yes, PureCraft Shaders works with most mods, but visual mods that change lighting or sky rendering may conflict. Test your mod combination in a test world first to catch any compatibility issues.
Why do my screenshots look washed out or too bright?
Adjust the shader intensity or brightness settings in the shader options menu to find a balance that works for your screenshots. You can also tweak individual effects like cloud brightness or shadow strength to get the look you want.
Does PureCraft Shaders work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, shaders are client-side only, so they work on any server without requiring the server to have the mod installed. Other players won't see your shader effects, but you'll see them on your screen.
What's the camera focus feature and how do I use it?
Camera focus blurs distant blocks when you look closely at something nearby, making close-up details stand out. It's optional and can be toggled on or off in the shader settings if it causes eye strain.
Why do I see weird visual glitches like flickering or missing textures?
Update your graphics drivers first, then try lowering shader intensity or disabling specific effects in the settings. If glitches persist, try resetting the shader to default settings and re-enabling features one at a time.
Can I adjust individual shader effects like clouds or lighting separately?
Yes, open the shader options menu (usually accessed through Video Settings > Shaders > Shader Options) where you can tweak clouds, shadows, weather effects, and other visual elements independently.
Does PureCraft Shaders affect performance in the Nether or End?
Performance impact is similar across all dimensions, though the Nether's unique lighting may look different with shaders applied. If you experience lag in specific dimensions, try lowering intensity there or disabling certain effects.
How do I uninstall or switch to a different shader?
Go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders and select "None" to disable PureCraft, or choose a different shader from the list. Your settings will be saved if you switch back later.
