Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on Refrax Shaders after installing it?
Open your Video Settings in-game, find the Shaders option, and select Refrax from the list. The shader will activate immediately, though you may want to adjust settings in the Shader Options menu to match your hardware.
My FPS dropped a lot after enabling Refrax. What should I do?
Open Shader Options and lower the shadow quality or disable shadow filtering—these are the most demanding features. You can also reduce cloud quality or disable water reflections if you need more performance gains.
Why does my water look weird or too bright?
Check your water settings in Shader Options; you may have reflections or refraction turned too high. Try lowering the water clarity or reflection intensity to find a balance that looks good on your system.
Can I use Refrax with other mods that change lighting or blocks?
Refrax works with most mods, but mods that heavily alter lighting systems or add custom light sources may conflict. Test compatibility by enabling the shader with your other mods and checking if light sources glow as expected.
