About this video: You don’t have to lag if you are playing Minecraft with shaders. Sure, shaders does require a decent PC to be able to get the maximum shading and light advantages out of it. However, you can do a few key things to actually increase your FPS while you are using shaders. Even if you don’t have the newest and best PC out there, you can still run shaders using these settings.

First things first though, we need to consider the mod that you are using to run shaders. There are two main shader mods out there - Optifine and Iris. Iris is newer, and when you pair with the mod Sodium actually performs better and delivers higher FPS than Optifine does when running shaders.

You can find the complete guide for getting Iris Shaders in the description above.

In addition to using Sodium over Optifine, the shader pack you use matters a lot too. We have a dedicated video on high-FPS shader packs in the description above. However, a good pack to use is MakeUp Ultra Fast Shaders. This is a great pack for those that want most of the amazing benefits of shaders without a lot of lag.

Once you have your shader pack installed, you will need to access the shader settings in order to setup the correct profile for your shader pack. This can be done in the bottom right of the shaders menu in Optifine shaders and in bottom center on Iris Shaders.

With your shader settings selected, you will most likely see the ability to select a different configuration for your shader pack. Not every pack has this, but for those that do, selecting the lowest/performance setting will give you the best FPS. A high-quality shaders profile will increase the look of shaders but provide a lot more lag.

There are some shader packs out there that provide almost no shading, but do add in the wind effects a lot of shaders have. This will give you the best overall performance possible from shaders in Minecraft. However, you don’t really get a lot of the lighting benefits.

This is because most of the lag that you get from Minecraft shaders comes from the lighting. Without this, you will get better performance.

It is also important to configure Iris Shaders with Sodium to get more FPS out of it. We cover this in-depth in the video looking at every video setting and what it should be set to for the best looks and the highest amount of FPS possible while using shaders.

Nevertheless, that’s our complete look at how to not lag while using shaders in Minecraft. If you have any questions about how to get more FPS with Minecraft shaders, let us know in the comments. We will try our best to help you out.
