Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on SMAA shaders after installing the mod?
Open your shader options menu through Iris (usually accessible in video settings), find SMAA MC Shaders in the list, and select it to activate. You should see the effect take place immediately on block edges throughout your world.
Will SMAA shaders make my game lag?
SMAA MC Shaders is designed to run smoothly even on older computers with minimal performance impact. If you do experience lag, try adjusting the SMAA quality settings to a lower preset or disabling other resource-heavy mods.
What's the difference between SMAA and regular anti-aliasing?
SMAA 1x is a post-processing anti-aliasing technique that smooths jagged edges after the game renders, rather than during rendering, making it much lighter on your GPU while still cleaning up block edges effectively.
Can I use SMAA shaders with other shader packs?
No, you can only have one shader pack active at a time in Iris. If you want to use SMAA, you'll need to disable any other shader pack you have loaded.
