How to Enable PBR Textures (for Shaders)

To take full advantage of the PBR textures, you will need:

1. OptiFine or Iris Shaders.
2. A shader pack that supports PBR materials (e.g., BSL, Complementary Shaders, Rethinking Voxels, SEUS PTGI).

Once you have a shader active, ensure that the PBR material or “LabPBR” format is enabled in the shader settings for the best visual results.
