Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on ReasonableView Shaders after installing it?
Launch Minecraft with Iris installed, go to Options > Video Settings > Shaders, then locate and select ReasonableView Shaders from the list. The shader will activate immediately.
Why are my caves still too dark even with this shader?
Open the shader settings (usually by pressing a hotkey in-game or through the shader menu) and increase the cave brightness or ambient light slider. You can also adjust the shadow intensity to reduce how dark shadowed areas become.
Can I use ReasonableView Shaders with resource packs?
Yes, ReasonableView works with most resource packs, but PBR-enabled packs will show the best results since the shader supports PBR material rendering. Some packs may look different than intended if they weren't designed with shader support in mind.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling the shader. What can I do?
Lower the shadow quality or distance in shader settings, disable volumetric clouds, or reduce render distance. ReasonableView is designed for medium hardware, so these adjustments should help without losing the core visual style.
