Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on SMAA after installing the mod?
Open your shader settings menu in-game (usually accessible through the Iris Shaders menu), locate the SMAA option, and enable it. The smoothing effect should apply immediately to block edges and distant objects.
What's the difference between SMAA 1x and other quality levels?
SMAA 1x is the standard setting that balances edge smoothing quality with performance. Higher quality modes process more pixels but demand more GPU power, while lower settings reduce smoothing intensity for faster framerates.
Why do my textures look blurry when I enable SMAA?
SMAA can over-smooth fine details if quality settings are too aggressive; try lowering the edge detection threshold or reducing the quality level to preserve texture sharpness while keeping jagged lines smooth.
Does SMAA work with other shader packs?
SMAA Iris Shaders is designed to work alongside Iris-compatible shader packs, but enabling multiple post-processing effects simultaneously may cause visual conflicts or performance drops—test your specific combination.
