Combine Depth of Field with Shaders and Sodium

Install Alongside Sodium

The mod works seamlessly with Sodium for performance optimization. Install both mods and launch normally—no special configuration needed. Sodium handles rendering speed while depth of field adds the focus effect on top.

Layer with Shader Packs

You can run this mod with Iris shaders or custom shader packs. The depth of field effect operates independently of shader processing, so both effects coexist without conflict. Test your combination in a test world first to ensure visual harmony.

Balance Visual Load

When combining multiple visual mods, monitor your frame rate. Start with modest depth of field settings and gradually increase intensity while watching performance. Shader packs and depth of field together demand more processing, so adjust expectations on lower-end systems.

Avoid Redundant Effects

Some shaders include their own depth of field. If you notice doubled blur or visual artifacts, disable one effect. Check your shader's documentation to see if it has native focus features you should toggle off.
