Optimize PureCraft Shaders on Low-End Hardware

Check Your Current Performance

Load a world and open the debug screen (F3 on most systems) to monitor your framerate. If you're getting stutters or lag, shader optimization is needed.

Disable Heavy Features

Start by turning off or reducing:

• Camera focus blur: This depth-of-field effect is computationally expensive; disable it entirely on older machines
• Bloom and glow effects: These make light sources glow but cost performance; reduce intensity or turn off
• Shadow quality: Lower shadow resolution or disable dynamic shadows if available
• Weather rendering: Enhanced rain and storm effects can be simplified or disabled

Keep the Essentials

PureCraft Shaders is designed to run on integrated graphics, so keep:

• Cloud rendering enabled—it's optimized and looks great
• Antialiasing at low or medium settings for clean edges without heavy cost
• Sky and lighting at default or medium quality

Test and Adjust

After each change, play for a few minutes in different biomes. Aim for stable 60+ FPS. If performance improves but visuals feel too plain, gradually re-enable features one at a time until you find your balance.
