Reduce Performance Impact While Keeping Visual Quality

Identify Performance Bottlenecks

Vivid Radiant Rays adds depth through shadow rendering and light beam effects. If you experience frame rate drops, these features are likely the cause.

Disable or Lower Heavy Effects

In shader settings, look for:

• Volumetric lighting or god rays—disable or reduce quality
• Shadow quality—lower the shadow map resolution
• Bloom intensity—reduce glow effects on bright surfaces
• Ambient occlusion—disable if performance is critical

Start by disabling the most demanding feature and test your frame rate.

Optimize Render Distance

Shaders affect performance more noticeably at high render distances. Consider:

• Lowering your render distance by 2–4 chunks
• Reducing far plane distance in shader settings if available
• Disabling distant shadow rendering

Balance Quality and Performance

You don't need to disable everything. Many players find that reducing shadow quality and volumetric effects by 50% maintains the shader's visual identity while improving frame rates significantly. Test incrementally and find your sweet spot between visuals and performance.
