⚠️ Important Note on Performance

To achieve the ULTRA and HIGH graphics shown in screenshots, Iris Shaders is highly recommended.

Note: High settings are hardware-intensive. If you experience low FPS, please adjust your preset in the shader options.

🎮 Version Support

• Compatibility: Fully optimized for Minecraft 1.21.11 and some older versions like 1.7.10.
• Engine: Works best with Iris or OptiFine.

Created with passion for the Minecraft community.

On older versions Minecraft be some bugs with reflection and etc but if you set to high maybe you like it so use it 🙂
